This weekend I am going to participate in the TN primary which also doubles as our county elections. In reviewing my choices I see that there are four uncontested races where the only candidates are Republicans. Originally I was thinking of just not voting for those races, but then I realized I could write in names as a form of protest.
My wife suggested Disney characters like Mickey Mouse or Donald Duck. In light of today's debacle, I think I would send a stronger message if I wrote in Vladimir Putin, Joseph Stalin, Vladimir Lenin, and Karl Marx. If they think we deserve Russians, why not give them a touch of irony? But I realize irony does not always play effectively.
So, help me out. Who should I write in for the offices of Sheriff, County Commissioner, Circuit County Clerk, and Register of Deeds? What are your recommendations?

Perhaps some of their deviants and perverts - so well known.
Mark Sanford is going to need a job soon. - Would he make a good County Commissioner?
Roy Moore? He could wear his cowboy hat while registering deeds.
Have fun.
