Voted my primary ballot today. I had to...

[reACTIONary]

... pick up to 20 choices from a long list for members of the county Democratic Central Committee. A lot of names of people I don't know anything about... other than that they want to volunteer for dems in the county. Some of them have a Facebook page or something like that, but none of them are actually campaigning. So how do I choose?

I could select the first 20. Or the last 20. Or maybe use a random number table. But why vote at all then? How do I make some sort of reasonable selection?

What I did was look up who is on the committee, and voted for all the candidates who were not. I ended up voting for 15 candidates who are not already serving - you don't have to vote all 20. Maybe not the best choice, but at least I had some, somewhat reasonable, criteria!

1. Would be nice to see some guidance from the Democratic Party.

They should be helping their voters understand the candidates running under their banner.

2. Is there a website

to get info on the candidates?

3. No, there isn't. They are "candidates," but not for political office...

... they are candidates for the county's democratic central committee. So I guess they don't run it like a political campaign. Some of them have LinkedIn or FB accounts, but those are just their personal accounts. They are not promoting themselves.
