The big election day is April 1, but don’t think for a second that means there aren’t elections on March 25 or any other day this coming week.
We have 4 state legislative races and a lot of municipal as well. We are looking at races in CA, FL, MA, MS, NY, PA, SC, DE and LA. And we have the opportunity to flip at least 3 seats.
If you can’t figure out who to vote for Blue Voter Guide can help. They don’t cover every election, but they cover most.
Unfortunately, my list is likely not complete, and it can’t be, there is no database that includes every single election. So if I don’t mention your state or county or district, that doesn’t necessarily mean you don’t have an election.
Not to mention, these are only the elections that end this week. This does not include early voting for other elections (say, things happening on April 1) for instance.
So, stop reading this and go to your county board of election website, and check to see if you have an election ending or can early vote for a later election this week.
You’re still here.
Go check!
Welcome back!
Without further ado, this week’s elections!
