Typically, only about 20 to 25 percent of registered voters show up at the polls.
What do you say, Genesee County, should we aim for 30 percent, or higher?
The Batavian "Get Out The Vote" effort is up to more than $1,600 in pledges for various local charities.
If Genesee County leads all counties in the NY-26 in voter turn out, the following donations will be made:
The Batavian, $100 to the Genesee Justice Foundation.
Jeff Allen, $100 to Care-A-Van Ministries.
Dan Jones, $26 dollars to Care-A-Van Ministries and another $26 dollars to the USO.
Dave Olsen, $25 tor GJ and $50 for The Loyola Recovery Foundation.
Joanne Rock has pledge $25 to GJ.
Lorie Longhany, $26 to the Child Advocacy Center wing of Genesee Justice.
Ricky G. Hale, a local plumber, has pledged $100 to Genesee Justice.
District Attorney Lawrence Friedman has pledged $1,000 -- with $500 going to the Genesee Justice Foundation and $500 going to Justice For Children GLOW Foundation. Any other members of the legal community like to step forward?
Ken Mistler pledged $100 for Volunteers for Animals.
County Clerk Don Read has pledged $100 for Crossroads House.
Remember, it doesn't matter who you vote for. You can vote for one of the four candidates on the ballot -- Jane Corwin, Jack Davis, Kathy Hochul or Ian Murphy -- or you can write in Jeff Allen or Joanne Rock. Or you can turn in a blank ballot.
The important thing is to vote. Do it for Genesee County. Do it for your favorite local charity. Do it for democracy.
