Election Day 2012: A Mini-Guide.



The voting booths are setting up nationwide for Election Day 2012. Several races at the national, state and local levels are up for grabs. Here is a mini-guide to the Elections.

  • President. Over two dozen candidates are running to defeat current President Obama. Gary Johnson, Jill Stein, Mitt Romney and others are trying to do so. Obama and Romney are on the ballot in every state. Unfortunately, for the third party and independent voters in Oklahoma, once again, the brain-dead head of elections in that state refuse to let third party and independent voters on the ballot. Maybe for monetary reasons?
  • Every House seat is up for grabs. Some whose two years (one term) of their House careers are on the line.
  • 33 of the 100 in the Senate are up for grabs. Including in key states such as Missouri, where U.S. Congressman Todd Akin is really listening to the voters and whether or not his 'rape' comment will win him the ticket to the Senate chambers, in the seat currently held by Democrat Claire McCaskill.
  • 12 Gubernatorial races nationwide, and in American Samoa.
  • Various other races nationwide as well.
If you filled out an absentee ballot before your deadline, I applaud you. If not, get your ass out there Tuesday and vote!
