Exercising my right to vote

I voted today! Great experience, researching and finding information on the web - even watching YouTube videos from the local candidates. There is so much information readily available - you just have to be aware of what is wheat and what is chaff.

I heard that the state of Virginia expects a very high voter turnout - as much as 90%. Wow!

    Yes, Virgina had a 71% turnout in 2004, leading election officials to predict that 90% number for 2008. Here's one story from the Chicago Tribune that not only mentions Virgina, but how other states simply won't be prepared for the number of voters expected.
