Write in Charlotte Golar Richie for Mayor

More than 80% of the electorate did not vote for the 1st placed candidate or the 2nd place candidate. 60% did not chose either. The two are respected hardworking individuals.  That is not the issue. The issue is who I would like to vote for. It is not necessary to vote for the two candidates printed on the ballot.  I have the opportunity to cast my vote as a write in. There is a space on the ballot specifically for me/us to do this.  I encourage the 60% to choose to spend your valuable vote organized. I will be writing in Charlotte Golar Richie for Mayor. I encourage you to do the same. At least Charlotte could obtain 60% of the vote at best 80%
