It's online voting, and we're pretty stoked to see what you guys think about all manner of stuff, from D.C. politics to who makes the best cupcake to which kickball league is the best. The possibilities are endless, but we're starting in a modest fashion. So to take this baby for a test drive, we want to know: Where do you all live?
