Candidates can campaign or do honk-and-waves, of course, right up until the bitter end at 8 p.m. But it's mostly a waste of time unless the winning margin is expected to be razor-thin. That might be the case in the 4th District. For candidates feeling comfortable, election day is a great time to go golfing. Recharge. Get some fresh air and exercise.
