One of the problems with the American Presidency is that it tends to eclipse the entire rest of the government in the public eye. People often seem to almost view the Presidency as if it were the government, rather than just one component of many within the government. In particular, the Presidential election is the only one it is possible to get many people to care about. Voter turnout drops precipitously for those elections where the Presidency is not on the ballot; and on those years where it is, the media coverage for the elections of other offices is almost entirely drowned out in the obsessive coverage of the Presidential campaign. But these other elections are no less important, and in many cases are more so. Despite the neglect they receive these elections are just as critical to our democratic process. By ignoring these elections, our nation is closing its eyes to the bulk of that part of government that affects us on a day to day basis. So what I would like to do is open up the floor and ask: What's happening in the local, non-presidential elections in your area this November?What are the important races (Senators, ballot referendums, etc) and what has been happening in them? What is your perspective on these? Let us know. If your familiarity with local politics is less than complete, Project Vote Smart offers a great deal of information on American elections and is a good place to get started.
