Election Day in One-Party, Democrat-Controlled Rochester, New York.

Tomorrow is Election Day, 2023.

Whoop-dee-doo.

It is an off-year election, so nothing of national importance is at stake.

Just local issues.

In Rochester, New York, no great changes are anticipated, since this is a one-party, Democrat-controlled city, that subject about which I have blogged previously.

The Democratic Primary elections determined who would be on the ballot tomorrow, and incumbents won the primary elections for School Board and City Council District Seats.

Rochester's school system is the worst in the state and one of the worst in the nation, so incumbents continually run and win, perpetuating this state of affairs because they have no sense of shame and there are no term-limits for school board "commissioners," which is what these creatures are called.

And Rochester, City Council, which also has no term limits?

The only exception this time around is Bridget Monroe, who is "running" for the Northwest District seat on City Council.

The incumbent, Jose Peo, "chose" not to run again after his pornographic podcast last year supposedly insulted another City Councilwoman, which earned him the displeasure of other City Council people and the Monroe County Democratic Committee because it ran contrary to their Woke Progressive agenda. 

I have already written a blog on that subject. You might want to check out,

The MCDC intimated that they would not endorse him for re-election, so he chose not to run and Bridget Monroe ran in the primary election and won it, guaranteeing her election tomorrow, since no one is opposing her on the ballot.

So I wrote myself in on my absentee ballot.

I also wrote-in my husband for our County Legislature seat, since I never heard of the "incumbent" for our district who is running unopposed.

That's because the County Legislature chose to lump part of our district into another one across the river and that creature is unknown to us.

So why vote for an unknown person, running unopposed on a party platform that is anathema to us?

THAT would be throwing our votes away.

So people might as well write-in themselves or people they know, even if there is no chance of winning.

At least you will be able to exercise your right to choose.

As for Bridget Monroe, I am familiar with her, but only slightly.

Her three claims to fame are that she is the ex-wife of former County Legislator Steve Eckel.

That she worked at City Hall (while I was there) and was fired from that job.

And that she is a big shot on the MCDC (at least it is so written on the political propaganda she proffered prior to the primary election).

However, in the 28 years I have lived in Maplewood, I have NEVER known her to be involved in neighborhood affairs.

Until now.

Not that it matters.

So the election in offices pertaining to Rochester, New York is a dead issue.

Control of the Monroe County Legislature, on the other hand, makes this election interesting!

The liberal Democrats are poised to finally wrest control of that body away from the Republicans, and thus inflict the chaos they have created in the City of Rochester upon a much wider audience, most of whom fled Rochester for the relative peace and security of the county towns and villages.

Even more interesting is the race between the current Democratic incumbent, Adam Bello against former Gates Town Supervisor, Republican Mark Assini.

Bello can be at best described as the pet monkey to Joe Morelle's organ grinder, doing his master's bidding and, unlike a real organ grinder's monkey, not nearly so cute, colorful or expressive.

But, he does as he's told (clearly), regardless of the stupidity of his actions, like sneaking in illegal aliens and putting them up in downtown hotels at taxpayer expense to verify his credentials as a Woke Progressive, which has pissed off residents of Rochester.

And rather than seeking money by proffering his little tin cup to passers-by, he has been trained to pick their pockets.

Assini ran the Town of Gates (Republican dominated), making it a relatively safe and secure suburban town, despite its proximity to the City of Rochester and the crime that flows from it.

It is thus only the County Legislature and County Executive races that are interesting here and have not been predetermined.

Those in the City of Rochester are a foregone conclusion and has been such since the Democratic primary.

That we are even bothering to have a general election in Rochester tomorrow for those offices seems superfluous and extraneous.

But it fulfills the letter, if not the spirit, of the election law and supposedly Democratic institutions.

That satisfies the liberal Democrats in charge here, if no one else.

And they deem that enough.

Of course, the REALLY important election will be 2024, when we can remove the curse of Bidenism from the American body politic.

Or perish in its debris.
