Tomorrow we have elections across the country. Involved are positions from governorships to Senate seats to House seats. Pundits are making big of this election because it appears that the voter turnout could be a record for the midterm. Pres. Thrump is on the stump, providing fodder for all the media. Pollsters are lying low, not wishing to poison the well. They usually have a bucket of predictions but in this toxic environment, they are keeping their information under wraps.
Whether one lives on either coast or in the heartland, the election has the possibility of creating a new situation in Congress: a split Congress with one or the other chamber yielding control to the other party(Dems), or both chambers giving up Republican control, or the Republicans maintaining control for another two years. Many candidates are newcomers, many more are women, getting out of the role of mere voter to the role of candidate. It could mark another resurgence of woomen in Congress.
Many local issues are also being decided; many taxes will be added or subtracted, raised or lowered, seldom eliminated. Many voters are weary of fake news, false positioning by various extremist groups, but, undaunted, they will vote their conscious. Hopefully, a large turnout will provide a good result. The more voters, the better the result.
Polls open locally at 7am for some, 8am for most. Get your ballots in; a mail in ballot can be dropped off at your polling station.
Please vote. Think about how you want to live where you live.
Lake Tahoe, California's Alpine playground, is anchored on the west shore by Homewood/Tahoma, straddling two counties:Placer and El Dorado. The mayor of Tahoma posts information related to the area and items of interest to residents and visitors alike. Its goal is to be informative, humorous, and timely. Hope you enjoy the site.
