Is a write-in vote ever a responsible choice?

Back when nine candidates were running for Chicago mayor, I wrote about not supporting any of the front-runners. I voted for someone who the polls showed didn’t have a chance, knowing I’d face the dilemma again in the runoff election.


Now it’s time to decide between the two candidates who advanced to the runoff. Paul Vallas is former head of schools in Chicago and elsewhere and former Chicago budget director. Brandon Johnson is a Cook County commissioner.
