Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsI voted today, and all I had on my ballot was school board positions.
But, there were 3 people running for one spot. I went back and read about them. Picked the best one, and went and voted. There are rumors here in Kansas that Trump's minion, Kobach, is going to dump you off the rolls if you don't vote in these 'off year' elections. Now, we can fight him and his hair-brained ideas, and we will, and we can also use our right to vote so we won't get kicked off the rolls.
Get up, speak up, vote.

Thank you for not being lazy and for exercising your right, and IMO duty, to vote!

(43,176 posts)and turnout in my rural district was so-so at best. I'd think no more than 50% of eligibles will turnout
But ... it's early in the day!
