Modest polling places, but they wield influence

Voters travel to everyday locations across the region today to decide who occupies the grand halls of power. You have until 7 p.m. to make your voice heard.

At stake in today’s election is nothing less than the leadership of the world’s most powerful nation.

The decision on who will wield that supreme power, live in the White House, and fly on Air Force One will be made at modest polling places across the land.

Neither grand or ostentatious are the buildings where many Sauk Valley voters will travel today to make their choices for president and lesser positions.
