The growing practice of voting by mail means many Inland Northwest citizens have already cast their ballots in the Nov. 6 general election.

For those who have not, here is a recap of the endorsement positions taken this fall by The Spokesman-Review’s editorial board. Our strongest recommendation, however, as it is in every election, is that every qualified citizen should vote, regardless of ballot preferences.

Links to all the endorsements are posted online (“Recap of S-R endorsements”) at www.spokesmanreview.com/blogs/opinion.
