There are a lot of important elections taking place today—across the nation. We've seen diaries here about HERO in Houston, 90 for 90 in VA, and many more.
We can't win these battles unless we cast our ballots—so please, get out and vote, and log-in to let us know about important local contests in your area, turn-out, weather, candidates and ballot propositions.
I just got back from voting. I was there waiting for the polls to open here in New York State at 6AM.
If you need help, or have problems, jump below the orange squiggle for numbers.
