The 2016 presidential election is in the political spotlight, but that's not the only voting arena being contemplated currently; there are significant votes in the sports world as well.
The Broncos recently named its 2016 Ring of Fame class, for example.
At the national level, when the National Football Foundation inducts its new members into the College Football Hall of Fame in December, I will be proud to watch Marlin Briscoe be inducted. Not only was Briscoe the first African-American quarterback in pro football, but he was a great player at the University of Nebraska-Omaha, and I was honored to vote for his selection.
