Editor’s Note
Back in the old days — that’s less than a decade and before there were such things as blogs and interactive conversations with readers — editors used to respond to their newspaper readers with an “editor’s note.” Sometimes it clarified a point made in a letter to the editor. Sometimes it offered a correction. Sometimes it was just a simple explanation. An editor’s note was a handful of sentences; maybe a four or five paragraphs. It was always a personal link between the editor and the reader. Only difference between it and today’s blog is the immediacy and the platform. Welcome to Editor’s Note.

Got a call this morning asking if I knew how and where to find a copy of the sample ballot. I know we published it in the paper a week or so ago, but in case you want you own copy today, here’s a good way to get one, along with a ton of other election info:

Winnebago County Clerk: Polling places, sample ballots

RRStar.com: Great “compare the candidates” interactive tool that includes national and local elections, background on the candidates and let’s you create your own sample ballot of just your choices. Much more than we published on Sunday in the print Voters’ Guide.

Rockford voters: The site’s not as deep as Winnebago County, but it’s the best place to locate your polling place if you live in the city.
