Yesterday was Election Day and luckily I managed to make it to our polling place---for some reason, someone scheduled a big global business meeting for the past two days. Anyway, I ended up voting for the challenger who was a former science teacher. Sadly, science lost to the incumbent. And apparently, not just in New Jersey.
One of the stats that I found sadly interesting was that only about 25% of the people in our district went out to vote. I guess this wasn't a Presidential election, but this was one of the more publicized elections (although New Jersey didn't have any of the key races). I guess the sadder thing is that that 25% figure is probably pretty high compared to rest of the country...
