Happy election day

I just realized that today is a voting day in Switzerland. Is the US the only place that doesn't hold elections on Sundays? It's especially weird to me that everything is closed on Sundays in Switzerland, yet they vote on Sundays. I guess nobody has any excuse to skip voting because there's nothing else to do on Sundays. Anyway, as Kirk had posted before, there are a couple interesting referendums on the ballot today, including Schengen (has to do with opening the borders) and domestic partnership initiatives. Personally, I will miss seeing the billboards and signs and flyers throughout the city for these two referendums. Both have had very clever ad campaigns.
