Trying to make up your mind about which way to go in Tuesday's election?

If you need a refresher on local candidates or issues, you might want to consult the Daily Inter Lake's Web page.

Local election information is available at www.dailyinterlake.com/local_elections. There, voters can learn about any of the three money issues (two for Flathead County, one for Kalispell) on Tuesday's ballot, as well as peruse stories on all contested legislative races plus the county commissioner contest.

The Inter Lake's election Web page also contains stories on major statewide election issues and races plus links to coverage of the U.S. presidential campaign.

The Web offerings reprise stories published by the Inter Lake in late September and throughout October previewing the election.

The early print publication and ongoing Web election-news service are designed to meet changing needs of voters, since around 16,000 Flathead County voters - perhaps half of those voting this year - are expected to vote absentee before Election Day on Tuesday.

SPEAKING OF elections, you may have noticed the huge number of letters to the editor being published the past month with an election theme.

Although other important issues abound, our readers clearly have Election Day on their minds, and have sent hundreds of letters to the editor. The Inter Lake always strives to print all letters sent to us, but in this case, we have reached our limit. Despite publishing as many as three, four and five pages of letters a day, we just can't run all of the ones we received.

So please accept our thanks for writing as many letters as you did, and our apologies for not being able to run them all. We have tried to provide a sampling of opinion on a variety of races from a variety of points of view, and tried to include as many new letter writers as possible.

Many of the opinions published have been informative, some of them funny, a few of them inspiring, and all of them an invaluable part of the ongoing process of self-government. Thanks to all - readers and writers both - for participating.
