Happy Election Day From ComingSoon! PLEASE GO VOTE!

Hello from ComingSoon.net! Today is Tuesday, November 3 and that means it’s election day in the USA! Barring any major breaking stories we will not be publishing much movie/TV/video game news today while our staff takes the day off to vote. We encourage our readers in the States to do the same, if you have not already. If you’re voting absentee it is too late to place your ballot in the mail, so please be sure to drop it off at your local polling place!

This has been a tense and divisive election, and while we don’t officially endorse any particular candidate we want to underline the idea that voting is an important power all Americans have and to exercise it accordingly. Please do not be discouraged by apathy, misinformation, long lines, voter intimidation or any idea that “your vote doesn’t matter.” It absolutely does, so please GET OUT AND VOTE!
