So today is Election Day! Voting is the right of every American. So I encourage you to get out and vote today if you haven't already. A soldier(s) died to give you the freedom to vote, so honor their memory today by marking the box of the person that you see fit to run this country. Also if you would, take our poll, who did you vote for to be President of the United States of America.
As of now, 17 states have laws requiring voters to present photo ID before voting. Some have suggested these regulations may act to disenfranchise poor and minority voters, who could be less likely to have such identification. Last month a judge in Pennsylvania blocked the state from enforcing its voter ID laws in the 2012 election.
It is all over the TV. It is all over the radio. It is all over facebook and twitter and any other social network you can think of, it is the 2012 Presidential Election coverage. You cannot get away from it, it is everywhere. So much even 4-year old girls cannot handle it anymore.
It might have been an accident. It's possible it was media bias. I might have been a test run accidentally put up for the whole viewership to see. However a CBS affiliate in Arizona posted the election results on TV on October 19th, during a People's Court episode.
If you have been wondering about when voting starts for the Presidential Election, then I have that information for you right here.

According to most estimates, the 2012 presidential election will be the most expensive ever held. Much of that money goes to TV ads, which will air increasingly as we get closer to November.
Do they really make a difference?
When a celebrity expresses a political opinion it is often covered in the media. And a famous person is also a lot more likely to be invited to the White House — or gain similar access to an elected official — than an average citizen.
But does that mean celebrities have too much political power?
Newt Gingrich has surged to the front of the field among Republican presidential hopefuls, despite questions about his past failed marriages.
