What is the procedure for voting for a representative for congress, and where do I start?

Asked by Dutchess_III (46804points) July 23rd, 2010

I’ve never voted to elect a politician other than the president, but I sure as hell am going to vote for a congressman this year. But…I don’t know when the elections are. And someone told me that you have to have some kind of “special” voters registration to do so, something other than the one I carry in my bill fold.

They keep talking about July 25th, as if it’s an important date, and I don’t know what’s happening on July 25th. Are the elections in November?

As I said, I’ve never voted for anyone other than the president, but the republican “vote for me for congress” are down right nauseating. Two of them do nothing but completely bash the other. I mean, total trash. I kid you not—Wink Hartman’s campaign slogan is “Pompeo. Another politician you can’t trust.” Just last night there was yet a third candidate who said he was going to vote to repeal Obamacare and he was going to “Stick it to Obama and Pelosi!!!” WTF???? What kind of ignorant, redneck, trailer trash following is he trying to get?

I’m voting for Raj Goyle. I’ve seen one of his commercials. He was calm, cool, intelligent, and didn’t say one single negative word about any one. In fact, he gave a respectful nod to the politicians ”...both Democratic and Republican…” that he’s worked with on common issues. He was a good representative of the Democratic party and a good representative of me.

So, how do I do my part to get him elected?
