*****For those voting absentee*****

Please, please google everyone you don't know on the ballot to ensure you're not voting for a wingnut. I work for the fed. govt., and it is filling every position possible with people just like Palin. I had a boss last year a carbon copy of Palin, with very little experience, religious, very conservative and a good dresser. And yes, that person used her position to promote her jingoistic political views as well as her Christianity. The powers that be are purposefully filling positions with Biblewhackers, so do use caution on your ballot. Google the unknowns, don't just leave the position blank.

1. Yes. They are very organized, and very strategic.

They actually seek out and provide training and support for the far-right ideologues they want to run for office. They start with school board positions, then city council, etc. and move on up. They are far more organized and planning for the future that we are. They even want to infiltrate the faculties of our universities and colleges, because they believe these institutions are too liberal.

Good suggestion. I will definitely check the unknown names on my ballot before voting.

3. Good idea

This is how they operate. It's their stealth plan. Before you know it, your school board or board of assessors, whatever, is made up entirely of Christo-Nazi wingnuts.

4. I voted absentee here in the UK

And my absentee ballot came with those positions crossed out with a big black X (on both sides). Only the President, Senator, and Representative (voted for Obama/Biden, Al Franken, and Tim Walz) part was not crossed out. So I couldn't really vote for the other positions.

So I had to leave the rest of my form blank, so I'm sorry about that.

6. What state do you vote it?

California's ballot was nothing like that. I googled most everyone, to include the Water Board.
