Letter to the Editor: The doctor did not lose my vote

To the Editor:
February 1 I took part in the Republican caucus that was held in Waukon. We started in the auditorium, where I spoke in support of ex-governor Mike Huckabee. Previously, I had read about Mike’s proposal to end abortion in the January 25, 2016 Gazette, page 9A.
Next, we exited the auditorium and filed down the hall to our precinct rooms. When I got my ballot, I was still considering Mike Huckabee or Ben Carson. I voted and turned in my ballot.
I did not hear the rumor about Ben Carson until the morning of February 2, after the caucus. I was sorry to hear it. Later, I was happy to learn that it was just a rumor. Now I am thankful that I did not hear the rumor before I voted.
