Everything You Can Vote For On November 8th Besides the President
Have you ever gone to the polls and realized that you don't know anything about half of the positions up for election?
This election is particularly controversial because of the presidential candidates - Donald Trump is the outspoken and dramatic Republican nominee and Hillary Clinton is the experienced but mistrusted Democratic nominee. Their campaigns have drawn enormous amounts of attention, both negative and positive, and people will be showing up to the polls in droves to either vote for their favorite candidate or the lesser of two evils.
However, because of the overwhelming presidential election we're facing, the other names on the ballot have kind of been forgotten.
