Time to Vote!

Today is a great day for Americans. Election Day. Regardless of your party affiliation, Election Day can really illustrate the patriotism across the United States. I hope as everyone goes to the polls today they vote with the feeling of patriotism. Also everyone has to remember to take their time going through the entire ballot as many states have key senate races and propositions on the ballot. To help out with your voting questions check out WAMUs voter guide here. Enter in your address and view a sample ballot and have each decision broken down for you so you can easily cast your vote with adequate information.

I just heard that even with the record turnout of  2008 still only 51% of the population turned out to vote. So lets see if we can't close the gap some today. Any predictions for tonight? Share them here!

For those of you still making your decision here is a quick paragraph about what's at stake.


The winner of the presidential contest between President Barack Obama and Mitt Romney
could determine the fate of the Bush tax cuts (Romney wants to extend them all; Obama
wants to extend them only for families making less than $250,000). The outcome also could
decide the future of entitlement programs like Medicare and Medicaid (Obama wants to
tinker with them; Romney wants to substantially overhaul them). And the race could
impact the implementation of the 2010 federal health-care law (Romney wants to repeal it;
Obama wants to keep it).   -msnbc election guide
