School board election. 2 seats up. Elected at large. One election. No runoff.
I’m voting because I’m known in the political science world as a “pathological voter”. Someone who shows up for every election and votes on every issue.
I have to vote against a stupid “home rule charter” for our county government. It has no argument for it except “the county commissioners suck”. Yeah, so let’s replace three commissioners with nine representatives and an executive. The last two counties in Pennsylvania that did this saw major tax increases as a result.
I’ll be voting; I always vote.
We’re electing a town supervisor (the last race was determined by four votes, so don’t say your vote isn’t important), two town board members, two county board members, several judgeships, and two state propositions.

I live in Anderson, which nestles in the curve where I-69 turns west toward Indianapolis. Hardscrabble itself is a wee village about 15 miles away, near Lapel. The legacy candidate I mentioned is Bob Rock, the younger. The party switcher is Kevin Smith. We vote tomorrow. May the more entertaining man win. Comedy often offsets political pain. 
Not in the U.S., but on November 5th Saskatchewan voters go to the polls to in a provincial general election. Results will determine the membership of the Assembly and who forms the government. Recent opinion polls show the two main parties neck and neck at ~40%, with a third party trailing at ~ 18%.
AskNott, I have been to Anderson, but I think I have missed Hardscrabble somehow. 
I was wondering because the mayor of New Haven, IN switched parties and I think he is up for re-election today. Seemed like a pretty stupid thing to do, but I am not a politician, so what do I know.

Returns are in for the Saskatchewan provincial election, and it’s as close as can be. There are 58 seats in the Assembly. The New Democratic Party took 30 seats, the Saskatchewan party 28, the Liberals 0.
Popular vote was: N.D.P. 44.62%, Sask. Party 39.35%, Liberals 14.17%, Others 1.87%.
So, the N.D.P. government is returned to office, but once they elect the Speaker, they’ll have a majority of 1 in the Assembly.
