America Votes

Today is Election Day in the United States, and millions of Americans are heading to the polls to cast their vote for Senators, Congressmen, Governors, and other government officials. Some Americans will also vote on various state and local measures, such as funding for school districts. California voters will cast their ballots for two particularly high-profile measures: Whether or not to legalize personal use and possession of marijuana, and whether or not to suspend an already-passed global warming bill.

America.gov will have continuing coverage of these midterm elections, including voting results and information about what those results mean and what comes next.

Here is a list of existing resources about today’s elections:
