SC election info

The 2010 South Carolina primary elections are being held on Tuesday, June 8.

This page shows who is running and for which positions and in which districts, for both the Democratic and Republican primaries. Only includes info on state and national offices, not local ones.

If you are registered to vote, this page lets you check your voter registration, and shows what your voting districts are.

This page lets you look up the voting districts for a given address in Richland County. The elected officials who are listed there are in some cases not up to date, but I think the districts are accurate.

I bought 2 fiction books yesterday, to read. I bought 2 books last year too. It's a year later, and I haven't yet read more than a chapter or so of either of them. But maybe these new ones will capture my interest more. Perhaps. I've got about 100 pages left in the Atlas Shrugged book. Now that I'm working from home more often, I read even less than before, as I usually only read during my lunch break at work, and even then only sometimes. Maybe I'll start reading on the weekends, if a book captures my interest. Maybe. I used to enjoy reading. It ought to still be enjoyable, if I can find the right books.

I feel like it isn't worth it to spend time researching who to vote for. I feel like I should just say to hell with it and not even vote. But I also feel it's a duty to do the research and to vote, even if I'm just guessing at who is the better candidate based on scant details, and even if the outcome makes no real difference to my life.

Trying to decide which candidate to vote for is slightly like being in a bookstore and trying to decide which book to buy, based on the cover, and what you see when skimming a few pages.

I bought some half-price baby arugula. I'll cook it with the collard greens. I ought to still cook it today, before it goes bad, even though I've still got a big pot of squash stew in the fridge.
