Elections, Politics and Voting

Hi All,

Just a quickie post about elections and politics. As if you don't know already that we are in an election year!  We are.

For some perspective readers might like visit this link from the Washington Post.  The article is titled, 'A handful of states will decide the next president. One candidate has the edge.'

And no, I am not endorsing one candidate over another. Especially in such an important and controversial presidential election.

However, I will link to several use friendly websites that explain the electoral system, how to register to vote in New York State and links to the Democratic National Convention and to the Republican National Convention.  Click on the various links above to arrive at the sites you chose!

Enjoy the sites and the links.
