For election day, here is a poor, unsuccessful letter I sent to the editor of the Washington Post:

“Because of his social views,” Libertarian presidential candidate Gary Johnson “could also steal some support away from Obama on the left” [“Gary Johnson’s third‐​party presidential bid: A real factor or just a footnote?” Oct. 19].


Somebody stop that man! Doesn’t he know those votes belong to President Obama?


Or perhaps we should disenfranchise those erstwhile Obama voters, who flatter themselves that they are exercising their judgment and free will, but are merely accessories to a crime.
