This morning's Ithaca Journal reported on the filing of independent petitions for local races coming this November. I didn't quite believe it when I saw "the All the People party in Dryden", but checking at the Board of Elections today, it's quite clear that the Republican candidates for Town Supervisor, Town Board, and Town Clerk filed petitions under that name.
Democrats didn't file independent petitions this time, though in the past we've used "Open Government" and "Better Dryden", which somehow seem more appropriate to me. I'd better check the latest voter registration data and see if indeed all the people are Republicans....
