Keith Breneman: Election more than presidential

I rarely share points of view with Barry Saunders, but his Nov. 15 column “Don’t protest if you didn’t vote” about election protesters was spot on. It particularly hit home with me because I was so disgusted with both party candidates that I almost joined the 45 percent that didn’t vote.

After thinking it through I realized this was not just a presidential election. There are many candidates running for other offices who were good and honest people, and they deserved a vote. So I voted.
