Moscow School Board election

[Jack Porter <jporter@moscow.com>]

There's one filing deadline to have your name printed on the ballot, and 
another deadline to have write-in votes counted.  This year they fell on 
April 19 and May 7.  So neither candidate is "illegal."

I would be interested in hearing the write-in candidate explain why he 
didn't file by the first deadline.   Too disorganized?  Too 
uninformed?  Not a serious candidate?  Acting out a childish prank that he 
and his college buddies cooked up at the last moment?  Or is this a 
premeditated strategy to catch the public napping while his zealous 
supporters quietly get their voters to the polls?
