Election day is finally upon us. No more political advertisements littering the airwaves, no more polls, and No more media banter (well.. less banter). It seems as if the American populous is generally ready for this election to be over, the authors included. But as we lowly citizens sit back in front of our televisions tonight and watch as the votes are tallied, we should take a small amount of pride in the fact that we have just exercised one of the greatest freedoms available to us. Its been a long arduous election that tonight will finally come to a conclusion. We encourage everyone who may be reading this, regardless of party affiliation to get out and cast your vote today.
The Presidential election is just one of many races on the ballot, especially in our state of Michigan. One could almost argue that the more important elections on this ballot come in the form of local ordinances and statewide regional elections. This is something that hopefully all Michigan residents will remember when visiting the polls today.
An online article from
Michigan Live highlights the "5 questions to ponder" during this years election.
- Will Michigan's Ballot proposals be approved?
- Will Michigan's Republicans hang on to the State House Majority?
- Will Mitt Romney get a boost from Michigan?
- Could Pete Hoekstra pull a huge political upset?
- How many people will show up to vote?
These are all pertinent questions that we will be able to answer tomorrow but for now all we can do is sit back and enjoy the last day of what is sure to be a very exciting culmination to this election season.
p.s. - The answer to that third question is almost undoubtedly "no" but in this country anything can happen.
