By Tracie Mauriello and Tom Barnes, Post-Gazette Harrisburg BureauWelcome to Capitol Notes, a smattering of bite-sized news nuggets from under the green dome at your state Capitol.
JUST SAY NOTA
Don't like your choices on Election Day?
You could pick the lesser of two evils. Or, you could take the advice of one political committee.
The committee, NOTA-PA.org, is urging voters to write in "NOTA" (as in, "none of the above") when they are dissatisfied with their candidate choices.
"We started the campaign to encourage people to vote without giving their vote away to a candidate they find distasteful," said David Lynn, chairman of NOTA-PA. "Too often, when voters don't like the candidates presented to them, they don't bother to vote at all. We would like to reverse this trend."
