I'm lucky when it comes to ballots. I'm actually in the town of Madison vs. the city, so my ballot is very short. I took one look and went straight Demcratic. We only had two ballot initiatives and they were no-brainers. I was in and out in less than 10 minutes.

There's an initiative asking whether the state should give a voucher for a free bottle of booze to Cubs fans....

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Do any NYistas know of a good online guide to the minor races on our ballot?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Brenda, there is one question asking if the IL constitution should be amended to establish a recall process for state elected officials.
