Someone asked me if I had voted already or still needed to vote today. We had the absentee ballot discussion. The funny thing is that he had requested an absentee ballot but left it a little late to make his request. So, if he votes with the absentee ballot, he has to take the ballot to voting headquarters in person. Long lines there, too, we conjecture. So he might as well vote at the precinct.
VOTE. No matter where, just do it! Does that seem overly emphatic? Just go give yourself a voice. Each vote is a whisper adding to the shout of acclamation by the people.
I wonder what is WRONG with the 40-something-percent of eligible voters who won't do it. I know there are illness and accident to prevent some votes being cast. But, It is important to have a voice in the decision so you can deserve to voice a complaint any time in the next four years.

My evening class consisted of one student which was me. The others went to vote and they are in their thirties. Boy, that sure surprised me, my fellow student court reporters waited until the last moment to vote. But...they still voted and that is what counts.
Absolutely true, at least they did it. Did you have a private lesson?
Yes, I did. My professor dictated my test of 120 WPM. It was nice to leave class early as well.
Early voting was its own reward!
