Election Day In what's threatening to be the longest ballot ever known to man – or at least Florida – registered voters will wiggle and giggle around in long queues hoping to be the one with the golden ticket to change the world! Seriously, though, we don't have much to say about your most sacred duty as an American citizen, except that you should probably honor it, especially given that – beyond the presidential stakes – the downticket items will most certainly shape the way your lives are lived on a daily basis. Don't worry about how long it takes you to parse the dense language of the amendments (it's designed by your legislature to confuse you, silly); also, if you're picking this up when you should be, take a little time to explore the positions of the legislative, senate and congressional candidates you've never heard of. You think your life is bad now? Just imagine what ignorance could bring. Vote.
