The United States is having a general election. Half of the Congress and half the Senate will be up on the ballot along with the office of the President. Numbers of State Governors will also be elected.
The United States is always in election mode and it starts again shortly after the November results to choose mid-term senators and congress people in two years.
An old gentlemen is at the local college library here pushing a cart and arranging an absentee ballot to be faxed to friends in the US for the November count.
Another lady here is a dual citizen born in Canada she was educated in the US joined the Canadian Navy and then attached to the US Navy and served as a nurse on the USS Hope a hospital ship. She was working on the hope as it did humanitarian work of the coast of Africa. She can vote absentee as well she said she would have a notary endorses a ballot she could sent in. She said the notary does not charge for this service.
The US take electing officials very serious and we in Canada should as well as military power is transferred often and broadly in these events.
