Lit Bit: Which One Are You Voting For Today?

It's an election of historic proportions.  Voter turnout is expected to hit all-time highs.  And the last couple elections, closer than shaves, illustrate just how important every single vote can be.

 

And, if that isn't enough to motivate you, how about that free cup of coffee at Starbucks?

 

So, whether you've gone to the polls already or you're planning to hit them later today, sound off now.  Who will you be voting for?
