A Lovely Day for Democracy

Have you voted yet?  I hit the polls this morning and was amazed at how long the lines stretched -- but there's something very satisfying about that. To speed up the process, make sure to have ID with you (just in case) and study your sample ballot carefully, so you don't waste extra time while in the voting booth (those in line behind you will appreciate it!).  And here are some resources for you NJ voters.  Use them if you need them, and then get out to the polls and VOTE!
