- At my polling place in Arlington County, there was a box by the exit
- door marked "please recycle sample ballots here".
- Sometimes the simpliest solution is the best solution.
- Of course, Arlington's county board is run by the D party :-)

- I didn't take the sample ballot from either party (I had my notes with me)
- It would be helpful if more recycling areas offered paper recycling
- (besides newspaper), so that we can more fully participate in recycling.
-
- BTW, to whomever it was who asked about representation.
- Your Virginia Senators to U.S. Congress are Chuck Robb (D) and
- John Warner (R). As you know, they both represent the entire state.
- John Warner lives in Middleburg, I'm not sure where Chuck Robb lives
- now, but he used to live in McLean.
- Your state delegates depend on what district you live in, call your country
- court house. They can assist you.
-
- To those who voted, whatever candidate, whatever (if any) party, be
- proud that you participated in the PROCESS. (If only all those people
- would show up for EVERY election, maybe we could affect true change).
