Just a reminder that much of the US has local elections on Tuesday. Local government matters a lot - things like zoning and building codes, decisions about walkability and bikeability, mass transit, whether science is taught truthfully, and the right to have your vote counted at all are on the ballot in many places.
we actually had to go online to look to see if there was even an election here locally… as there had been no media coverage, no fliers in the mail, no ads on tv or radio, no annoying signs littering the right-of-ways… nothing.
turns out there isn’t. everything in the ‘off years’ is done in the spring (judges, school boards, and other local positions), and no special election or vote of any sort.
