An election is a formal decision-making process by which a population chooses an individual to hold public office. Elections have been the usual mechanism by which modern representative democracy operates since the 17th century. Elections may fill offices in the legislature, sometimes in the executive and judiciary, and for regional and local government. This process is also used in many other private and business organizations, from clubs to voluntary associations and corporations.
See a list of specific election tags here, and check out the latest result from the Daily Kos State of the Nation Poll.

Mitt Romney is in serious trouble in Virginia and he doesn't even realize it. He is like a hound dog barking up a tree where the game, "small varmints if you will" , has already been gone for a hour.
