Well, election planning is in full swing. We’ve set and published a list of endorsement interviews. We also have information here for candidates, including the four questions that we will post with candidate profiles on LoHud.
Of course, there’s always a learning curve. Here’s the silliness we’ve already encountered (and, well, yeah, we brought it upon ourselves to some extent.)
• Candidates e-mailing in the four questions without their name or office sought anywhere on the e-mail. And no, you can’t always tell from the e-mail address. So, we’ll add a line reminding candidates to include their names and office sought on future notices.
• Confusion about questions sent out over the summer by the League of Women Voters. Not the same thing. This is a different animal. Answer these questions, please. If you don’t you won’t have your information complete for our readers (and voters.)
• Some candidates have said they don’t have e-mail. No, I’m not kidding. We will only accept question responses via e-mail. This is a huge undertaking that we hope will help voters be informed and empowered. Streamlining submissions to come only via e-mail is one way we can actually get this accomplished. Go the library. Ask a kid. There are ways to get access to e-mail.
Other problems, questions, concerns, comments? I’m listening.
