Guys, again, I know this is a thread ABOUT a political situation, but my intent was more for knowledge and awareness than for voicing political dissent and opinions. Some of these remarks are leading down that path.

For the sake of keeping this thread relatively politically neutral, what say we open a related thread in discuss, eh?

Peet:
So what is actually on a US ballot paper. You all seem to be voting for about a gajillion things at once. I have not voted ever but i gather all that's on a British one is the choice of who you want to represent your region in Parliament.

It varies on a state to state and sometimes county by county basis. The general ballot is President, any open for vote (Both federal and state, as I recall) senate or house of representatives seats and a selection of propositions (Laws, spending plans, etc) up for vote at the state level.

Lines:
Yeah, there's state officials, city officials, sometimes there are levees to vote on, and there are different issues as well, both state and city.

An example: this morning, I voted for the following:

President of the United States
A Senator to represent Kentucky in the US Senate
A Congressman to represent my little corner of Kentucky in the US House of Representatives
A State Senator
A member of the Kentucky House of Representatives
2 County Commissioners
A member of the city council
A school board member
A member of the Kentucky Supreme Court
A member of the Kentucky Court of Appeals
A member of the county Circuit Court
2 members of the county District Court
I think there was one other judgeship that I'm forgetting.

Kentucky doesn't usually do state referendums unless there's going to be an amendment to the state constitution. There wasn't any such amendment.
