Voting Prayer
Rabbi David Seidenberg of NeoHasid.org posted a non-partisan prayer to be said in the voting booth. I highly recommend it to my fellow American Jews who will be voting this Tuesday, no matter which issues your vote turns on or who you are planning on voting for. I will probably personalize it when I use it, so feel free to do the same, whether you keep it general or want to relate it to the issues or candidates you care about.

My only problem with this is you shouldn't take any extra time in a voting booth, since other people are waiting to use it. I'd suggest doing the prayer while on line, or in your car, or outside the building.
i like.
I knew you weren't really Orthodox! Nice!
While on the subject of the election have you seen this?
