text: if you don't know who to vote for, is it wrong to write your own name in on the ballot? i didn't recognize any of the candidate's names for the city council, so i wrote my own name in, i was just wondering if anybody else did the same. no! thanks to the democracy of this wonderful country  it does not matter how you vote. the point is you voted and you have the choice to vote!  kudos to you for voting !
