Getting Out the Vote

This year's US presidential election may have the biggest turnout in a very long time. Given how long it took for women to get the vote, I passionately believe in exercising that right. Naturally, I'd prefer my candidates and causes win, but the most important thing is for everyone who is eligible to vote.

It's equally important to be an informed voter. They all spin the truth in their ads -- as voters we have a responsibility to do a little research so that we understand the issues and the candidates, and vote for those that we believe in. Or at least those we can bear...

The Secretary of State's Publius Voter Information Center shows Michigan residents if they're registered to vote, where to vote and what will be on the ballot. I think this is fantastic, and that every state should have something like it!
