vote

Part of the idea behind early voting is to help us avoid long lines on Election Day, but early voting has become so popular that we sometimes hit long lines there too. I think I may have discovered the best time of day to go, to avoid long lines. Oh, and I voted for...

They're trying to make it easier on us to get out and vote, with the mobile truck taking ballots around the Treasure Valley during early voting this week.  And the push is there to get us to the polls on November 8th too. Voters don't always jump at the chance to cast a ballot, and that keeps Idaho in the lower half of the US when it comes to voter turnout.

Did you hear about the new idea Ada County is employing for early voting this time around?  They're calling it "food-truck voting" as they take the polls to the people.

They've been there to help you carry almost anything, to clank noisily in the dryer, and have you ready for the potential of a surprise safari.  Now, they're maligned: Cargo shorts.

Last night's video should be the poster video for why you need to do your own research when it comes to choosing who to vote for in the upcoming election.
