Isabel Lopez New York Times: Politics Isabel's Home page 11/2/10 On Tuesday, November 2, 2010 all over the United States people will be voting for certain laws, and their representatives, and governers. Republicans have to win a majority of 39 seats in order to win. If Republicans win they will break the lock that democrates have had since 2008 when Obama won for president. 37 senate seats are being voted on. 39 states have a governer's race. Currently the Democrates have 26 governships and Republicans hold 24. It is expected that the votes will tilt.

This is important because we need to be able to share our thinking as a state, and we will do so with the representatives that we're voting for. We need to make sure that our representative is someone that we can trust, and share our ideas with. We also need to make sure that we can trust them with making good choices for us.
