November 2nd, 2010 is election day

Just a reminder, November 2nd is election day.  Many folks have expressed passion about where our country is and where they would like to see it go.

  THIS IS THE CHANCE TO EXPRESS YOURSELF.

It is not the role of this blog to take political positions - albeit tempting, but there are a couple of things you might not know.

• If you haven't registered to vote, it's too late!
• In New York, voting machines have been replaced by paper ballots.  The ballot will look like you might see in the paper with spots to fill in for the candidate of choice.  So, you might want to bring your glasses.
• Where to find your local ballot before you go to the voting booth.  Local newspapers have posted them regularly.  But, if you are like us and don't get one, you can go to your COUNTY BOARD of ELECTIONS.  Each county web site is different.  The easiest way to find yours is to go to GOOGLE.COM.  Search for your by typing " board of elections".  

For example:

"monroe county board of elections" will return

• If you want to know who the incumbents are you can go to the state site where they are listed.
