COLUMBUS, GA (WTVM) -
If you've been on social
media sites lately, you've seen lots of talk about the presidential
election.
While many of the postings
are endorsing one candidate or the other, there are also a lot of nasty
comments and candidate bashing coming from both sides.
This is an important time
not just on the national level, but locally and regionally too.
That's why we think it's
time to take a breath, stop the badmouthing, and do your homework.
We're electing a president
in a few days, but voters in Southwest Georgia and Eastern Alabama are also
deciding some key congressional and municipal races, as well as proposed constitutional
and charter changes that will effect local and state government for years to
come.
There's a lot at stake and
we hope voters will be able to look past the rhetoric and try to separate fact
from fiction.
You can find lots of
election information on our website wtvm.com under the politics tab.
We urge everyone to get
out and vote on Tuesday November 6. It's your right and your duty.
