Already local election signs are popping up like daffodils around the county.
Democracy, indeed, is a beautiful thing, but sometimes the process can get ugly.
Sadly, some of Roane County elections get a case of the “uglies” now and then, and we expect a few races in the June 2 election to hit a few sour notes before the ballots are tabulated.
One thing to be on the lookout for are unsigned “slam” sheets that spread unsupported rumors and innuendo in an attempt to sway the vote.
