Rather than try to sort out all the suggestions, I am going to wait to get my ballot and read it. Then if I do not understand it, I will not vote. If I know what I am voting for, then I will cast my ballot. I usually do not vote for something that I know little about. I never vote for the herding judge or the obedience judge unless it is something I know. I suggest everyone read what comes to them for a vote, and then decide what to do, rather than listen to others who may have an agenda to promote. On the other hand, if someone like Carolyn Martello or Dorothy Linn has information to offer, always consider it. Evan L.
