RT Polls, RT Mail, RT post-election - update
Well, the “Where y’all from” poll is closed, and here’s the results:
Being a progressive blog, it’s no wonder that Brighton and Rochester represent in force, but I feel really happy knowing that EVERY area round these parts has someone progressive checking us out. The only area unrepresented in the poll is Mendon, and I know at least 3 progressives there, even if they haven’t seen fit to vote. So we’re covered.
We have 3 new polls now, one for each of the hotly constested congressional races in our area: NY-25, NY-26, and NY-29.
You’re the pundit today, vote and let us know what you think.
One final note– thanks to everyone emailing our blog. We’re experiencing higher than normal mail coming in, no doubt due to the election, so if we don’t get to you right away, it’s nothing personal.Â
I’m really excited– there’s a bunch of interesting things in the works for RT once the election is over. We’re all about building infrastructure, and as much as the elections are important and all-consuming right now, what comes next is, in my opinion, going to be even better. Stay tuned…

the enormous disparity between brighton and pittsford surprised me.
I should note that this poll is more informational than anything else. Every day, many times more people visit us than voted in the poll, so I wouldn’t say it’s representative. Folks may not have scrolled down enough to see the poll, or didn’t want to take the time to vote. I’m just happy to see we’ve got someone from just about everywhere around here representing their area.

Well, the poll isn’t exactly representative. Thanks for making that point, I’ll clarify the post.
Sorry I missed getting into the poll. I live in Brighton and work in Rochester.
Sorry about that! I’ll hold another poll in a few months, and I’ll publicize it better then.
