A meaningful election is upon us in Albemarle County.
Voting is key.
From Albemarle County’s site:
“For the November 7, 2023 General Election:
Early Voting: Friday, September 22, 2023 – Saturday, November 4, 2023
Voter Registration Deadline: Monday, October 16, 2023
Same Day Registration: Tuesday, October 17, 2023 – Tuesday, November 7, 2023
Last day to request a ballot by-mail: Close of business on Friday, October 27, 2023″

Figure out where to vote here.
Each election, I have to figure out where to vote, as I voted in the same place for so many years.
I always find voting histories fascinating — here is the Mechums River Voting District history.
I’m choosing to stop looking at Mechums River, as otherwise I’ll be in the voting history rabbit hole for too long, and then I might spend a lot more time looking at who’s giving how much to whom. And marvel at how absolutely insane it is that a local school board race is going to cost about a quarter of a million dollars.
Here’s an idea: each candidate gets $25K to spend on election stuff, and the remaining $200K goes to the Blue Ridge Area Food Bank, or Meals on Wheels, or PACHEM.
