I was surprised by a question asked of me last week. A citizen wanted to know how much extra it would cost to be open on Saturday and Sunday for the Special Election caused by the tie-vote. I told them it would cost more but not really very much and I wasn’t sure of the exact figure. Later I heard from several people who believed the candidates should pay for the election. The candidates seemed to have enough money in their campaign funds and since the election was only for these two individuals, why shouldn’t they pay for it.
In thinking about this a little more it puzzles me why there is a double set of standards. The May Election is required by law but so is the June Special Election. No one seemed concerned about the cost of holding the May Election. I think this is because people understand the necessity of holding an election for public officials. But somehow they don’t see the same necessity for holding the Special Election.
