Published 9:00 pm Saturday, November 4, 2000
Here is a summary of the endorsements made by the editorial board for Tuesday’s election. The endorsements are made by the five members of the editorial board.
All of the endorsements were subjects of editorials. To read any of the endorsement editorials, please go to
