Nov. 6:  Election Day - All political roads lead to Nov. 6.  Much of the political posturing, debating, campaigning and mudslinging will come to a head as voters from all across the country perform their civic duty at the ballot box. But while the presidential election may be the main event, don’t forget about other elections in the House, 33 seats in the Senate, 11 gubernatorial races and many state legislature contests that are also taking place on this day.
