WHAT DOES “PLUNK” MEAN?

I’ve been in and around politics for too long.  When you as a voter have several choices as for whom to vote, like in this case, to vote for 7 out of 72, it means that you only vote for that fewer number about whom you are sure that you want to win.  When you go beyond that point, and start to vote for names that simply seem familiar or attractive, then you are actually casting a vote against those folks that you really know about and really wanted to win.   To put it another way, far too many voters cast their ballot for those names that seem to be more attractive or familiar.  And the candidates with these attractive names rarely measure-up to the attractiveness of their name.   So, “plunk” means stop voting when you no longer really know who or what you’re voting for!  If you have 7 votes, then stop once you have voted for the 1, 2 or 3 that you are sure about. Then, your vote will actually count toward making the difference that you wanted.
