I've posted the text of a ritual I found on witchvox.com - maybe this will come in handy for those who'd like to send some intention to the Universe.

http://www.witchvox.com/words/words_2004/e_pap03.htmlIf you would like to use this petition, feel free to do so. You may also modify this prayer as you see fit. It is non-partisan, but it does reflect certain values held by many in the Pagan community.
(Open with your own invocation, and call upon the deity/ies to whom you are dedicated.)
(State your intention:)
As a people and a nation, we stand on the threshold of the most important decision in a generation. We call upon thee to ask that you impart to every voter in America your ancient wisdom and clear insight, so they may make the right choice on Election Day.
* Help them see the wisdom of having a concise, intelligent plan to end war and build peace in the Middle East and the world, with cooperation from old, new, and returning allies.
* Help them to see the wisdom of preserving women's rights, including reproductive rights.
* Help them to see the wisdom of creating incentives for companies to keep jobs at home, become environmentally innovative, and be fiscally responsible, so they can create jobs with fair compensation.
* Help them to see the wisdom that the world and its people cannot be categorized in black-and-white terms.
* Help them to see that a government controlled by the interests of one ideology is NOT representative of the people.
* Help them to see the importance and long-term benefits of responsible environmental stewardship.
* Help them to see the wisdom that freedom of religion means ANY religion.
* Help them to see that in the face of rising energy and health care costs, continuing on the present course and expecting different results is the definition of insanity.
* Help them to see the wisdom of expanding stem-cell research.
* Help them to see the wisdom of EVERYONE paying their FAIR share.
* Help them to see the wisdom that the widening gap between rich and poor MUST be reversed.
* Help them to see the wisdom that education, after-school programs, and arts programs need to be FULLY FUNDED.
* Help them to see the wisdom that continuous obfuscation and denial do NOT make a strong foreign policy.
* Help them to see the wisdom that America and its government should not be beholden to corporate interests.
* Help them to learn the truth about both the candidates. Inspire them to find the facts about the issues. And finally, instill in them the desire to create a better world through their vote.
(Raise energy in your preferred manner. Send it out to EVERY registered voter in America, EVERY absentee voter abroad, and EVERY voting soldier.)
Our will be done, that all may see. With harm to none, SO MOTE IT BE!
(Give thanks to the deities, elements, ancestors, the good folk, and any souls, spirits or forces that have assisted you in the working of this spell.)
Remember, the most powerful spell you can cast is your vote. Please, register now if you haven't already done so (the deadline is October 18) and let's make our voices heard - while we still can!

Oh, and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
