In the United States, this is what is known as an "off-off year election." That is to say that without the first tier glamour of a presidential election (as in 2012, 2008, etc.) or the second tier (off year) glamour of senate and congressional elections (2010, 2006, etc.), we the people are most likely going to see a low voter turnout. Apathy is the poison of Democracy.

VOTE!

As usual, I endorse SmartVoter.org for finding your local ballot races - because this time around it's pretty much all about the local races for most of the United States. Here are my Pittsburgh picks:

Mayor of Pittsburgh

Bill Peduto for Mayor


Pittsburgh City Council - District 4

Natalia Rudiak for City Council District 4


Ballot Question: Residence of City Employees

Shall Article 7 of the City of Pittsburgh Home Rule Charter be amended by adding the following Section? 'Section 711. Residency Requirements for All City Employees. All City employees and officials, including Police and Fire Bureau personnel, shall be domiciled in the City at the time of their initial appointment and shall continuously maintain their domicile within the City throughout their terms of employment with the City. This section shall take effect immediately upon passage. ' VOTE YES
