Split

Split off Elections in New England. The media tends to confuse its audience by suggesting that the people create laws somehow. Elected officials do. Elections are important. Follow-up is important, but elections (at this level) are not "politics" per se. Laws (politics) (with some exceptions), are enacted by lawmakers. This follows the practice of other US place (state) articles. Student7 (talk) 00:59, 20 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
