Extremely Detailed Map Reveals Who Your Community Voted For In 2020 Presidential Race Extremely Detailed Map Reveals Who Your Community Voted For In 2020 Presidential Race
Extremely Detailed Map Reveals Who Your Community Voted For In 2020 Presidential Race An interactive, incredibly detailed map of how neighborhoods voted in the 2020 presidential election has been released. Created by The New York Times, the online map of the U.S. shows which candidate people voted for at the state, county, and precinct levels. The darker the color, the higher the percentage of voters cast ballots in favor of the Republican (red) or Democratic (blue) candidate. Possibly the best feature of the NYT map is that it provides side-by-side voting information for the 2016 and 2020 presidential elections. It is easy to move from one map to the other and see whether a…

Safe Boxes Should Be Added At Town Halls In Westchester For Mail-In Voting, Supervisor Says The writer, Paul Feiner, is Greenburgh's town supervisor. Many voters complained during the June primary that they did not receive absentee ballots in a timely manner after they submitted the requests.  And, other voters worry that the postal service may lose the absentee ballots in the mail, depriving voters of their right to vote.  Or, that the ballots arrive after the deadline passed.  Our postal service is not very reliable - many letters are lost, sent to the wrong address.

Letter To The Editor: Ode On Impeachment Vote Letter To The Editor: Ode On Impeachment Vote
Letter To The Editor: Ode On Impeachment Vote Daily Voice does not endorse the content of Letters to the Editor. To the Editor: We’re heading down the road, Towards a presidential impeach. Some say it’s a no brainer, Others argue it’s a reach. What I really find disturbing, Is the vote goes down the party line. Voting against your party, Is like stepping on a land mine. We could change this situation, And start to make things right. By shutting off all the lights, And voting late at night. Then let’s take out the center aisle, And mix up a seating chart. Where alternating parties, Are only a seat apart. I’m sure this wo…
