I voted - no major elections here except for County Executive, but there were quite a few judicial seats open. I think it is very important to give power to your beliefs, and contrary to popular belief - voting is your power.

As far as finding what people actually stand for does take some effort. Many times there are debates on Public Access channels, you can ask for and get copies of minutes of Legislative sessions. You can go on their websites and look at their voting records. You can even write them and ask how they stand on ABC, etc.

PS - the polls are open for 1 more hour here - SO VOTE!!!!
