The Twin Falls Times-News published a story today, titled: "Six things to know before you head for the polls." Among the items listed in the story are: you still can register on Election Day, bring voter ID, and you can still vote if you forget your voter ID, by signing an affidavit. The top item on the list? Every vote counts. Anyone who has paid any attention to the 2009 City Council race that incumbent Mike Kennedy won eventually by 3 votes, should know that statement to be true.

Question: I vote as though I'm casting the deciding ballot when I go to the polls. How about you? Do you vote as though the election hangs in the balance?
