Presidential election years have, potentially...

1. The Presidental race
2. Your US House Race.
3. (Maybe) one of your two Senate races.
4. State house and senate races (maybe)
5. State governor's race (maybe)
6. Any local races, referrendum issues, etc.

We had about 20 categories on our ballot in my county in Florida, of which
about half were State Constitutional Amendments.

An outsider might think an election process so important to the entire free
world would be kept simple. I believe one of the options on an Ohio ballot
was 'funding for a zoo'.
I an only remember two cases where we had a chance to vote directly on
issues and both were during municipal elections.
Our big controversy last month was...should we repeal the 'Lord's Day Act'
and allow shopping on Sunday.
Very polarized issue with the no side getting a narrow win.

Would you believe that this great bastion of Democratic Puritan angst,
the great Nutmeg State, land of the Charter Oak Connecticut that you
will can't sell alcohol on Sunday?

Amazing. :)

All the best,

To quote some obscure politician, "Hope is on the way". MA finally
repealed the Sunday Blue Laws, so now we can get drunk 7 days a week.
