Exercise your right
Like any election campaign season, we can't wait until this one ends. Civility in politics is a lost art, and that's unfortunate. There are many decent candidates this year with a sense of community and public service, but sometimes -- and this year is no exception -- campaigns get bogged down in mudslinging.
On Nov. 3, please exercise your right and VOTE. If you've voted already, that's wonderful.
The folks who could make a real difference in this election are the majority of registered voters who become frustrated and choose to bypass Election Day. Voter apathy has made its mark on Loudoun over the past few years -- the exception being last year's national election. If 30 percent or even 40 percent of those people who are registered would get off their fannies and go to the polls, it would stun the politicians and pundits.
Tuesday, Nov. 3, is your chance to help choose the direction Loudoun will take over the next few years. It's your responsibility to get involved in government, both statewide and district-wide.
Polling stations are open from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. If you're not sure where to vote, check your voter registration card or call 703-777-0380.
I will be proud to collect one of those red, white and blue “I voted today” stickers on Nov. 3. Just don't stick them on a suede jacket, like I did a few years back. They're difficult to remove.
Be sure to check out complete election coverage in the Nov. 4 print edition of the Loudoun Times-Mirror. Also, visit www.LoudounTimes.com Election Day for updates.
