It's Election Day today, and we encourage you to exercise your right to vote. Polls are open until 9:00 p.m., and even though this isn't a national election year, it's still important and every vote counts. For more information, contact the Oneida County Board Of Elections. And how things have changed on election day since I was a kid.
As you know, today is election day, and polls will be open in New York state until 9:00 p.m. . Many people in the greater New York City area affected by last week's Hurricane Sandy may have difficulty finding their polling place. Governor Andrew Cuomo has issued an executive order to enable them to vote in state and national elections, even if their polling place is closed due to the last week's storm. If you have family members or friends in the New York City area, you may wish to share this with them.
With election day tomorrow, we've heard over and over again how important Ohio is as a swing state in the presidential election. As they've been saying, "Ohio, Ohio, Ohio". So, I thought it appropriate to celebrate the birth date of the "King Of The Cowboys", Roy Rogers (real name: Leonard Franklin Slye) who was born on this day in 1911, in Ohio! Roy died in 1998, but would have been 101 today.
With the devastation of Hurricane Sandy throughout the northeast this week, the deadline for absentee ballots for next Tuesday's election has been extended.
At Big Frog 104, we encourage you to exercise your right to vote, and here's news about absentee ballots.
