4. Yes, they do-- towns/cities put out their ballot "picks" online.

That way, you can see who is running for what, ahead of time, in which races, and read the ballot initiatives.

I printed out a ton of 'em in large print and ran around to all my "regulars" (people I drive to the polls) last week so they could read them and make up their minds BEFORE they go in to vote. I also summarized the issues for them in conversation.

It will slow me up 'big time' (to quote Shotgun Dick) if they all get in there and decide to start reading that tiny print, so I urged them to come to a decision before they get in the car. They know I am trying to help a lot of people and that I have a "number" I want to hit (at least a hundred) so I'm hoping that pre-emptive effort will speed things up tomorrow!
