Today is Election Day. [View all]

Not everywhere, but there are elections being held all across the country. Is there one where you are. Will you vote?

Here in St. Paul, MN, we're electing city council members and school board members. There's also a measure on the ballot regarding the city's trash collection system.

Check for an election in your jurisdiction. Go and vote if one is being held, please.
