As election day draws near, voters are increasingly being inundated with political scare tactics, confusing campaign literature and promises from candidates — on the local, state and national levels.
Although many people might have made up their minds long ago on the presidential race, it is often much harder to make meaningful distinctions among local and state candidates and issues.
So this week, Q-Line wants to know, “How comfortable would you feel stepping into the voting booth right now? Have you been sufficiently informed about candidates, or have the political tactics employed this year left you dazed and confused?”
Call (310) 285-8106 before Friday at 5 p.m. and we’ll print your response in the weekend edition. Please limit your comments to a minute or less. It might be helpful to first think about the wording of your response.
