Thread Name: BS: Have you voted?
Subject: RE: BS: Have you voted?
Ebbie, I love that about Election Day, too, but this year the Dems stressed that it was too important to leave it until the last day, esp. in battleground states like Colorado. Not only are we voting for presidential and congressional candidates, but also 10 amendments (4 additional ones have been removed, but not soon enough, they are still on the ballot, which will confuse some folks) and 4 referendums, along with what seemed like a gazillion judges who want to be re-elected, AND they want folks to take a max of 15 minutes to vote on them all!

Thank goodness the state does send out an information booklet (71 pages!), with a summary of each unit, the actual legalese of each, plus pro and con positions on each, so that is helpful IF folks get them and read them. My daughter and her husband never got one, so I passed ours on.
