How did you/will you actually vote this year?

[traininthedistance]

We haven't actually gotten a sample ballot yet in the mail.  I don't think Simcha Felder is up this year, so it'll be straight Dem except for Howie Hawkins for governor.

NY Gov: Howie Hawkins
NY AG: Eric Schneiderman
NY Comptroller: Robert Antonacci

NY-21 Rep: Paul Tonko

Proposal 1 - i.e. "bipartisan" redistricting: No
Proposal 3 - i.e. stop wasting paper: Yes
Proposal 3 - i.e. $2b for politically savvy tech firms: No

NY Senate - WI: abolish the State Senate
NY Assembly - WI: me

Why Antonacci?

Antonacci is running on a surprisingly bold anti-corruption platform, and he's not especially close with the state's Republican establishment. I might reconsider my vote if Antonacci had any chance of winning, because DiNapoli is relatively clean. But given the chance to vote for an honest outsider running a reformist platform, I'll take it.

I could have sworn you had a longer post earlier where you explained why you were writing yourself in for Assembly, using some logic that, well, surprised me.  Am I imagining things?

Did I mention the incumbent's support for traffic light cameras in Albany?

Yes, that was it.  Traffic light cameras are fantastic and I was surprised that you seemed to consider them to be mutually exclusive with other streetscape improvements for some reason.

Update: Simcha Felder was, in fact, on the ballot this year.  He had the Democratic and Conservative lines.  And was running unopposed.

Wrote myself in.
