Victor Martinez has an amplified voice in the Valley, it actually comes over the radio! Martinez is owner and host of MEGA 101.7FM Spanish Radio. I tuned in to Victor recently over his support for Carol Obando for the 7th Congressional District.
Martinez is now behind Ana Tiburcio for the 22nd state district. While being Latino scores some points with him, he finds Ce-Ce too far to the left.
Ce-Ce is a tough candidate, who knocks on many more doors than any of her competitors. However, Tiburcio having Martinez's voice behind her is BIG. I believe it will be a contest.
ADDENDUM: News broke Tuesday afternoon that the Voter Registration office sent out incorrect mail ballots for the primary. With tightly contested races in the 7th and 22nd, we now have another wrinkle!
That's the locals way of cheating, you should know I had thought there were many voters f r om the cemetery in your race.
ReplyDeleteThe system is rigged.
ReplyDeleteHe’s right about Ce-Ce, she is too far to the Left. Unfortunately, I’m not sure that Tiburcio even knows where Harrisburg is, much less anything about any state issue.
ReplyDeleteBut I’m certain both will do whatever their party bosses tell them to do.
Such is the sad state of politics today, where the voters are forced to choose between the lesser of two evils and won’t win no matter which candidate comes out on top.
As to the addendum about the ballot issue, the first election under Josh Siegel goes exactly how I expected it to go under a political hack with no experience running anything.
ReplyDeleteI’m sure that he’ll make sure that the voters make the right choice, and if needed a bagful of mail-in-ballots will appear a week after the election to support the outcome.
anon@1:03: A freshman representative can do little except vote. Ce-Ce would definitely be independent than Ana.
ReplyDeleteanon@1:07: I think that in light of recent court decisions, no late mail-in ballots will be counted.
While my post was tongue-in-cheek, the ballots wouldn’t be late, just “lost” and not counted unless they were needed.
DeleteSurely you wouldn’t want to see anyone disenfranchised :)
anon@1:45: At the end of the day, which country do you think has a better system? Trump still claiming that 2020 was stolen is a disgrace.
