The days of hoping someone was standing outside a polling place handing out those little golf score card pencils, or having to remember to take one with you to the poll, is over. That's how it used to work if you wanted to do a write-in. In this day of touch screen voting machines, no such effort is necessary.As I mentioned in a previous post, I'm protesting the choices in the mayor's race by voting "NOTA", None Of The Above. If you're considering doing the same, here are the instructions from the Lehigh County Voter Registration website.
How To vote For Write-in Candidates
- Touch the check box beside Write-In
- A touch keyboard appears on the screen
- Type in the candidates name exactly as it should appear (In this case, type in NOTA)
- Touch the Record Write-In button to record this candidate, or touch the Cancel button to return to the ballot without recording a candidate's name.

Pam your choice to not vote for anyone for Mayor is the wrong thing to do. Voting for Phillips at least we can start over from the road Pawlowski has steared us. Tony may not be perfect but in comparison to Ed he is a refreshing choice.Hope you change your mind and he the cause of ridding Allentown of this scum Mayor.
"help the cause"
Anon 10:04,
Voting is a very personal and private exercise. There is no wrong or right.
I hope there is a protest vote against Ed Pawlowski that translates into votes for Tony. The better Tony does, the clearer the message to the Mayor that people know he's just the man behind the curtain and not the wizard he portrays himself to be.

Which cause would that be? The hopeless cause of Tony Phillips getting elected?
Or the even more hopeless cause of having Ed Pawlowski actually tell us all the truth for the next four years?
There is an option:
Vote for a little more talent and then look for new talent
protest vote against Ed Pawlowski that translates into votes for Tony. The better Tony does, the clearer the message to the Mayor
This is a great statement! i hope people do this
I cast no vote in the Mayor's race. Let us know how Mr. or Ms. Nota did!
Joe,
I certainly will. I'm waiting for those results to be available. I think it will be very interesting to see how many people actually registered their protest by voting NOTA.
