Welcome to the night before election day. I’m sure many of you are excited that tomorrow is the beginning of the end of Trump’s reign. Somewhere in that wish is a caution to be careful what you wish for, but tonight isn’t the time for that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’ve been notified that the Summit County Clerk’s office has been shut down due to quarantine <\/a>and votes may not be counted until mid-November. So, tomorrow’s the Election-bowl of the century and the Clerk’s office (the people who count the votes) evidently didn’t take the precautions to ensure they could play the game. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The clerk’s office is shuttered until November 9 at the earliest. Your vote will be counted by Mid-November.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are you upset and what’s your recourse? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The good news is that unless you are in School District #2, where school board president Andrew Caplan is defending his seat against Thomas Cooke, you really don’t have much to vote for — unless some random judge is your uncle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sad thing about Summit County is that in local elections no one except for Cooke is challenging the incumbent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, don’t let the incomprehensible, Covid-19 action from the Summit County Clerk’s office get you down. Whether your vote is counted this year or later, it won’t really matter. All the Summit County Council candidates running unopposed will get reelected. The Assessor, running unopposed, will get reelected. The Recorder, running unopposed, will get reelected. The Treasurer, running unopposed, will get reelected. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then, when the Clerk runs in two years, you’ll vote for him again, because no one will run against the Democrat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our collective actions aren’t getting the best result for Park City or Summit County. We need to find a way to have options when voting. If not, why vote at all?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
