It's Election Day today. In our State today is the day for our Primary Election. Which means for us vote-by-mail folks, all ballots must be placed in the drop box, or postmarked by 8:00 p.m. today. Well...I have to admit it, I have had a lot of things on my mind lately...but voting hasn't been one of them. I was prepared to sit this one out...after all, it is just the primary, right? I hadn't even looked at the candidates or done any research on who I might want to cast my vote for...which I think is very important. If you are going to vote, you don't want to be doing it all willy-nilly!
But, as the evening drew to a close, Rob strongly expressed his feelings about me not voting, and what that meant to him. So at the eleventh hour, I got on the computer, did some reading on the online voter's guide and did my civic duty by making my selections one by one. I raced down to the post office and threw my ballot in the box just in the nick of time.
As I driving to the post office I had every intent on snapping a photo of my ballot, just before tossing it in the box...but lost my head at the last minute. So here's the next best thing...my voter's card, because without this, I would not have had the privilege to vote in the first place.
