To my fellow Spiders,
Virginia will feature elections for 11 Congressional districts and one Senate seat on Tuesday. The polls will open at 6 a.m. and close promptly at 7 p.m. If you plan on voting and do not know your polling station, you can visit this site.

Let's be honest: Virginia doesn't have any stellar candidates for governor this year. But that doesn't mean you get a free pass to sit out this election. It's a common misconception that state-level elections, unlike presidential or Congressional races, aren't all that important. That's just not true.

Next Tuesday, more than 17 million Americans, or 5 percent of the U.S. population, will have elections for their state governments.

Thus political observers often watch them as referenda on the president, and reporters and pundits crashing from the buzz of the election flock to cover them. Money from across the country has funded thousands of hours of omnipresent campaign ads that seemed to start on New Year's Day.
