While hundreds more voters did come out to vote in this year’s school board election, (in comparison to last year) the supermajority of registered Keene voters decided to abstain. Only 2266 people cast a ballot last week in Keene. (16.2% of 14,402 registered voters) The people in the state society claim as justification for their aggressive actions that “we voted for them”, but that’s hardly if ever true. Most people don’t vote. However, that doesn’t stop them from foisting their violent system on us. This is why any plans to stop voting will not stop the aggression. Just look at any town where 0% turn out (it happens). The government people don’t take this as non-confidence in their system, but instead they see it as an endorsement that the voters just think everything is peachy, so they just go right on oppressing people. The only thing that will stop them is noncooperation.
Of those who voted, 11.5%, or 262 people, voted for me. That’s with virtually no campaigning and a radical message of turning ownership of the schools over to the teachers and staff. Thanks to everyone who voted for me – no matter what your reasons.
