Happy Thanksgiving fellow DU'rs.

OMG!!! My friend's step daughter just got murdered today!!

I just found out her stepdaughter was going to court to face her killer for a different issue. For what she was facing him for I do not know. I have not seen or spoken to my friend for about 3 years due to a situation concerning a sociopath.

I have a few questions about my voting ballot. Maybe I am an idiot but I would rather not screw up.

Where I live we have a county wide measure I am unsure about what it means.

Here it is: This measure initiates the home rule charter process

Should there be an election of freeholders to initiate the home rule charter process for my county?

I have no clue what that means and whether I should say yes or no.


There are two offices each running with 1 Republican and 1 non partisan. I can not find any information that is helpful on the non partisans. I have looked a lot and there is not enough info on them to make an educated guess. should I just vote for them on the non partisan ticket or fill in the blank bubble?

There are two running unopposed in my city districts and other than one that I went to high school with and was an ass back then ( being 30 years ago not a good reason to make my decision for my vote ) I have not able to find info to help me with an educated vote. So, do I vote for them anyway or fill in the blank bubble?

Last question, if you fill in the blank bubble are you required to put someone next to it?

I feel silly asking these questions but I want to make damn sure I do this right.
