Anyone have info about the write-in candidate against Ronda Storms? |
|
I've been looking online for info about Victoria Brake, but she does not have a website or interviews. All of the local 'news'papers endorse Storms completely (like good lapdogs would), most without mention of the write-in's name (clever, right?).
So, here is my dilemma: do I vote for the write-in even though I have no idea if she's a crazy lady, too or just not vote at all? I really detest not filling in every choice (perhaps the OCD talking) and would hate to loose an opportunity to throw out Ronda (a stretch, I know). This is for District 10, east Hillsborough and parts of Pasco and Polk.
Any insight? Much appreciated!

1. She has no campaign site, no nothing, which makes me think she's a GOP plant. |

Our quirky primary voting laws here in Florida mean that Florida has closed primaries, unless the only people running are all in one party. If that is the case, then anyone can vote in the primary. In order to avoid outside voters participating in their primaries, if a candidate faces only competition within the primary but would run unopposed in the general, the party will often get someone to run as a write-in candidate. That way, the primary remains closed.

I figured since Storms is an "entrenched insider" that Brake could easily be a tea-party plant.
I guess my next decision is do I write in big bird or cookie monster?
Thanks!

Ronda Storms is a special kind of strange.
