People do not understand how local, elected officials and their seat are important," said Andrea Owes, president of the Urban League's Young Professionals Network. "They feel it doesn't hold as much weight. While they are intently focused on the presidential elections, and there is an increase of people registering to vote, they are not turning out for local elections. They just dont understand. "As important as it is for all of us who axe rushing out to vote for president, we've got to focus on the offices that actually affect us day-to-day and those ballot initiatives that could really impact Broward County and Florida voters as well the office of the sheriff,"[Reid] said."Who is in that sheriffs office is critical, particularly for the black community."

Candidates for office are not the only matters on the Nov. 7 general election ballot in Key West and Monroe County. Six state constitutional amendments will also be placed before the voters. As these are at the end of the ballot, many voters are often surprised when they see these issues for which there has generally been little publicity. Unlike candidates, ballot issues rarely have massive television and print media campaigns waged "for" or "against" them. This amendment would change the number of votes needed to amend the Constitution - from a simple majority, as it is today, to three-fifths or 60 percent. The Legislature placed this amendment on the ballot contending that it is too easy for organizations to bankroll a change in the state constitution. It has the backing of a coaliti...

VOTERS in Mississippi earlier this month rejected a proposed constitutional amendment that would have classified a fertilized egg as a person. The controversial issue was so extreme that even pro- life supporters helped defeat it. But that doesn't mean the amendment's supporters, including Personhood USA, won't try again. Indeed, California is among the states that will be the testing ground for this hot-button topic next year.
...Petitions to get personhood amendments on the ballot are already being circulated in Monttana, Florida, Oregon and California, where the California Civil...
Millions of dollars, however, are now being spent to confuse African American voters. One such deceptive ploy is going on once again in the state of Florida with the so-called "Fair Districts" Constitutional Amendments 5 and 6 that will redetermine how voting districts are to be drawn across that state. There are similar measures on the ballot inthe state of California. These proposals are unfair and will lead to the "bleaching" of voting districts in those states and later in all states. Of course, this will be a undermining disaster to the Voting Rights Act. The proposed "whitening" of voting districts has a lot of Black people confused and we when we are confused, it can cause a low voter turnout.
Show-Me State voters will be the first in the nation with an opportunity to pass judgment on the new federal health care law when more than 1 million people are expected to cast a ballot Tuesday on Proposition C. The statewide ballot proposal attempts to reject the legislation's core mandate that most Americans have health insurance. The legal effect of the measure is questionable because federal laws generally supersede state laws, but its passage could send an ominous political message to Democrats seeking to hang on to their congressional majority in this year's midterm elections.
