I’d like to add my voice to that of at least six other blogs today by encouraging everyone who is registered to go out and vote today. (Props to Jason for posting four of those.) As this is the year for municipal elections your vote has the greatest impact for three reasons:
- You are voting in a smaller race so there are fewer voters in any given contest.
- Municipal elections have the most direct impact on your daily life.
- Voter turnout is lower so your vote counts for even more among the already small races.
This widespread blogger encouragement to vote is just an example of the last push on election day of what I hope political bloggers can and will do in every election.
