Election Day is Here!

Well, it's finally here.  The only poll that actually matters is being taken right now.

Despite working until 11:00 and getting to bed just before midnight, I set my alarm to wake up early and head to the voting precinct so that I could be there when the polls opened at 6:00.  I was 22 days too young to vote in 2004 so I was beyond eager to cast my ballot this time around.  The turnout at that hour in the morning surprised me but I still wonder if we'll actually see the huge turnout that everyone was expecting ("they" said the same thing in 2004 and I think it stayed just about the same).

So we'll see what happens.

Come along with me as I vote:

Election Day is Near!

I don't know if you've heard but there's a big election coming up on Tuesday.

You probably know who has earned your vote for president but there are a bunch of other seats available: U.S. House of Representatives, State Senate, State Assembly and judgeships.  There are even a bunch of propositions on the ballot.

If you're voting on Long Island, check out Newsday's 2008 voters guide (they didn't use an apostrophe so I guess I won't) to learn about the candidates and the issues.  Don't head into that voting booth without knowing anything.

To find out which districts you're in, click here for an interactive map provided by the New York State Board of Elections.

I'm looking forward to voting in my first presidential election (I was 22 days too young in 2004) and I hope that you exercise your right (and, frankly, your duty and responsibility) to vote on Tuesday.
