For Contrarians
Rock the Vote! Get Out the Vote! or simply Vote! You will receive lots of encouragement to head to your local polling location tomorrow. At the risk of seeming anti-democratic or just plain curmudgeonly, some (all-too rational?) economists offer reason to not vote.
I wonder how much their argument holds for local offices in rural areas or small towns, where even write-in candidates can win.
GOVERNING Politics is the place for news and analysis on campaigns and elections. If there's a ballot measure in California, a legislative election in Alabama, a mayoral election in Anchorage or a governor's race in Rhode Island, GOVERNING Politics probably is writing about it. We love everything about state and local politics, from polls and campaign ads to policy debates and demographic trends.
