Off-year elections
It may be an off year, but it’s a potentially exciting one. I plan to tune in tonight and write something—hope the news is good. Here’s a thread where you can discuss things till then.

According to a comment on another blob, Christie has 300 lawyers and poll watchers at precincts all over NJ and is watching the absentee ballots closely. He’s wise to Acorn’s tricks, which is very good news.
The NJ election is the important one, the nail-biter. I also heard that the turnout has been heavy in Republican districts.

I just had mostly local and county elections, along with statewide judges. I didn’t really know much about most of them so I voted Republican, along with the lone Libertarian candidate.
There were five retention elections for state judges, where you vote yes or no to retain them. “Yes” usually wins unless there is some serious scandal. I voted “No” for all of them, just to be on the safe side.
I noticed that there were no candidates at all for Judge of Elections and Inspector of Elections, and I was halfway tempted to write in my own name, but I didn’t. I probably should have.
In our district in Texas all we had was a number of Constitutional amendments to the State Constitution. I voted yes for some, no for some and left one blank.
The biggest one in my opinion was the one restricting emminent domain seizures- basically an attempt to prevent something like Kelo vs New London. I voted for that one.
