Election Day: Share Your View (and Win a Prize!)

Editor Kendall Watson is looking for opinions and comment on Election Day.

There's no shortage of opinion out there on today's final day of voting for the 2010 General Election.

Wandering around the a few days ago and hearing it in whispers, sitting down for a and catching a bit of commentary on the U.S. Senate race, and yesterday—it's a hot topic around town.

It's just my opinion, but it seems a certain amount of opinion is an act of catharsis after King County stopped using the ballot box system in 2009 and went to an all-mail election. They'll start counting the ballots as early as 3 p.m. today, and many of you have already turned in your ballots.
