Need I say more…….
Today is the day. Today we decide who will be our President; who will represent the Minnesota 3rd congressional district in the U.S. House of Representatives; who will represent MN House Districts 42-A and 42-B; who will fill two open seats on the Eden Prairie City Council; and whether or not our School District will have additional funding for the next couple of years. And, we’ll decide who will fill a host of other public positions as well. Too numerous to mention here.
For those of us involved in the process of providing free and fair elections to citizen, Election Day presents many unexpected challenges. So far today we’ve had to determine whether or not we can remove political signs from state-owned property; whether or not MoveOn.org is subject to the same kind of distance limitations to our polling sites that political parties are subject to; and a quick re-education of our election judges not to allow citizens to wear political buttons in the polling sites. All this and more during the first two hours of voting.
We expect a record turn-out in Eden Prairie, and in Minnesota. We expect to have a free and fair election here. For more information on voting in Eden Prairie, see below. Otherwise, have a great day today, and remember to vote.
