Election Day 2011 - Tuesday, March 15th
Tomorrow is Election day and if you're like most people, you may not know there is an election. I mean, didn't we JUST have an election? Yes, we did but this election is for a new Mayor, and two Village Trustees here in Valley Stream. Click here for a complete list of candidates. Our current and first female Mayor of exactly 30 days, Joanne Antun, is not seeking election after being appointed Mayor after the death of Mayor Edward Cahill who passed away late last year. For Mayor Antun to be the first woman ever to serve as Mayor in Village history I'm not sure why a bigger deal wasn't made of it than it was. I mean, it is Women's History month, isn't it? The Village put out a brochure that had the story on the second page, bottom section of the brochure. Really? Shame on the public relation's team for not making it known to the masses. Don't forget to vote at your normal polling location (where you voted in the last election back in November 2010 or November 4, 2008 being that could have been the last time some of you voted. Polls open at 6 a.m. and close at 9 p.m. You have plenty of time so please, make your vote counts or you have no right to complain when the Village official you didn't vote into office makes a move you don't agree with. Click here for your polling locations. VOTE!

I have been told that if you vote and choose 'Vote all democrate" you will not vote for President Obama as he is not linked to the 'vote all democrate' option. If you are voting for democrates it is better to choose a individual for each office.
ReplyDeleteThat may have been the case in other states, but not here in NY. We have a "fill in the bubble" ballot here where you manually scribble in your vote as if taking a high school exam. Our machines jammed all day long, but were fixed during the day. Thanks for your comment!
