I preface this by saying I am getting up tomorrow and voting.

Having said that, this has been the most irritating election I can ever remember. Social Media and Facebook have led to a new kind of pathetic mud slinging match. I would wager that 50% of people on my facebook feed know ZERO about any real policy, and are just posting some factual incorrect picture or attack ad. It actually scares me how much mis-information is out there and how many people voting know next to nothing.

Honest test, next person you see post a slander ad on Facebook challenge them and ask them if they even know who the candidates in there riding are.
