Like last year, this is not a voter guide in the traditional sense, and if you use it as one you are making a mistake. Do your own research. If you're still reading I like to publicly share my ballot as a matter of accountability. When re-election comes around I want some record I can points to of who I supported and why so that I can see if they've lived up to the expectations I had. Similarly, I want others to know how I voted so that the community can see and consider the values I find important in ArbCom, and it allows others to challenge me should I betray those values. Strategically, the best way to get your preferred candidates on the committee is to support them and oppose all others. In another race at another time, I could find myself supporting many of the candidates I strategically opposed.
