Ted FolkmanOkay, #bospoli, is there some kind of rule of etiquette that says I ought to sign someone’s petition to get on the ballot if I’ve never heard of the candidate? Or even if I have heard of the candidate but don’t support him or her? I got balled out this afternoon at the Roche Bros. for declining to sign for someone I had never heard of. @universalhub
Jonathan Kamens 86 47@tedfolkman @universalhub Well, I think they just gave you a very good reason not to vote for that candidate, eh?
@tedfolkman @universalhub Seriously, you absolutely should not sign for a candidate you know you don't support, and if you don't know anything about the candidate, you should feel free to politely decline or ask the canvasser for more information about the candidate before signing.
Note that you're only allowed to sign for as many people as you will be allowed to vote for. So e.g. in a district city council race you need to live in the district and you can only sign for 1 candidate.
