This year's presidential election promises to be quite exciting & Colorado is one of the battleground states (The Big 5: Picking the States That Will Pick the President). As important as voting is, I'm a bit worried about long lines on election day. Arapahoe County has plenty of info on mail-in ballots & early voting locations. Are you planning on standing in line in election day? Is this part of the experience?
I recently heard a couple of interesting stories on voting. One discusses how we may choose our neighborhood based, in part, on our desire to live among like-minded people ('The Big Sort': Red & Blue Divide Neighbors, Too). I don't know that I agree w/ this contention, but it did get me to wondering about the possibility that bumper stickers, car models, & landscaping make us feel more or less comfortable in a particular neighborhood. What do you think?
Another study discusses how our polling place may affect our vote (Study: Your Polling Place Affects How You Vote). Again, I'm not certain I agree, but perhaps there are many more folks who make up their minds on
election day than I realize. Thoughts?
