Virgin Islands election officials are still in a quandry about the upcoming election, given the order of the Virgin Islands Supreme Court of October 24, that ordered that Senator Alicia Hansen’s name be expunged from all ballots, even though early voting had already started three days earlier.

From what I have read on the internet about this candidate, I might have to hold judgment as to whether the Court is correct in its Order. Apparently some of the people of the U.S. Virgin Islands have other issues with Senator Hansen other than the back taxes or not paying taxes.
It makes one wonder, why do people seek public office?
Obviously, some want to serve to make their community, state and nation better. But, unfortunately, there are some who seek office for Power and may have little concern for the people who elected them and the greater community they were elected to serve.
Sadly, we have candidates in the states as well as office-holders, who we question as to whether they should hold office or be elected to office.
As a Christian, I have both a civic and spiritual duty to vote for whom is the best candidate. However, because of the Two Party monopoly, we do not have a real choice. On November 4th, I trust my votes will not be votes in vain.
