Well, it has been a long election season. Tomorrow makes the long wait, hard work, and extra stress all worth it though. The American people will elect the 44th President of the United States who will lead this country during a financial crisis, war, and declining international stature. We will also decide on thousands of local elections and ballot issues that will greatly impact our daily lives. No matter the outcomes of these reaces, we can all revel in the notion that despite our many problems, we still have the greatest Democracy in the world and will move in a new direction as a country starting November 5th.
If you have not already voted yet (and have been waiting patiently for Election Day to come) please keep a few things in mind:
1. Make sure you take proper ID to the polls. You can find more information here, but an Ohio driver's license is the best if you have one.
2. You can not be turned away to vote if you are in line by 7:30pm, just don't leave the line!
3. If you run into any problems, call 1-866-our-vote for help.
4. Don't wear any clothes or buttons that support any candidates while voting. You will most likely be asked to cover it up anyways.
5. Take a sample ballot with you so you already know how you are going to vote in each race and you can look up questions ahead of time.
6. Enjoy yourself! This is the most important right we have so take it all in and vote with your heart.
