It's election day in NJ, MS, LA, the Northern Marianas Islands and....

VIRGINIA!!!!!

In the Commonwealth of Virginia, the Senate is currently controlled by the democrats by two seats. It'll be an interesting night.

We have local elections here, along with a recall of a state rep. I voted in my school board race earlier.

The big race in Michigan is Paul Scott. He's up for recall because the teacher unions hate his guts. If he wins, it will send a big message that their days of control are coming to an end.

Can you post your ballot in plain language?

Were the issues worded correctly to not confuse?

please post it here so others can see it ... I am from Ohio & of course worried about 2 & 3

[Dubya-M-DeesWent2SyriaStupid!]

The VOTE NO on Issue 2 is so bogus.It makes it sound like all firefighters will cease to exist and all puppies will die and Ohio will have no teachers.

Thanks some states are anal.I am so fresh in moving I need to get the printer hooked up.

Very off year for NC, only mayor and city commissioners on the ballot where I live. I voted a little after 12:30 and the turnout was a bit better than expected due to the mayoral race being a real contest this time. I was thrilled to cast my vote for my very own husband, FReeper nnn0jeh, who is running for city commissioner.
Polls close in less than 1/2 hour. Hoping my dear one wins!

Yes.

And notice in the adds that they are all “heroes”. “A YES VOTE ON ISSUE 2 IS A VOTE AGAINST THE HEROES”.

Got that ? Every single teacher, every single cop, etc.. is a hero.

Not a bad one in the lot.

No need to fire or promote based on merit. They are heroes for crying out loud.

MAKES ME SICK!!!

I voted for myself tonight for city council. That gave me 2% of the vote.

Democrats didn’t even field candidates for many. I don’t know if anything can be taken from that, but I don’t recall it happening in the past.

Democrats now 2012 will be a tough year. They are probably are saving money and resources where they can, and not bothering to spend money to field a candidate in a district they're unlikely to win.
