I want to start by offering my sincerest condolences to
those struggling with the loss of power, property and, worst of all, life from
Hurricane Sandy. We must remember that
an election, while important, is not as important as people. There are a lot of things you can do to help
with disaster relief – things as small as giving blood locally and as big as
going out to help with clean up. For information on how to help or to donate,
visit the Red Cross hurricane page here.
Now when it comes to the election, many began to wonder if
the election date would be moved. This
seems incredibly unlikely, although certain counties could change polling
locations if your local site was destroyed.
Even some of the hardest hit places in New Jersey don’t seem to be
phased. The election has been placed on
the back burner while officials are concerned with flooding and clean up, but in a recent CNN article, New Jersey’s Governor Chris Christie (R) said “the election
will take care of itself.”
In my opinion, there are two factors which could actually
impact the election, and they’re things that BOTH parties should be worried
about.
