Stand up and be counted …

• Posted in General musings

So I went and voted yesterday. Thought I’d do it early and avoid what are sure to be long lines on Nov. 4.

Overall, it was pretty painless. Stood in line a few minutes, waited for a crashed computer to restart, and then got my ballot. I filled out a paper ballot that was scanned through a machine after I was finished. (The election workers told everyone several times not to mark outside the boxes — wonder if they’ll be any hanging chads this year?)

Once the ballot was scanned, a little message popped up that said “Your vote has been counted.” And I was done.  

Anyway, I just want to encourage folks to get out and vote — early like I did or on election day. People in other parts of the world long for the freedoms we take for granted here in the U.S. Voting is one of them. So whatever your political affiliation is, go make your voice heard. It’s what Wonder Woman would do. :ww:

    Actually, since Wonder Woman isn’t an American, she isn’t voting. And she is doing everything she can to keep from making comments on the political race.

    Yes, but if she was American, I’d have no doubt that she’d be first in line to cast her ballot come election day — and encourage others to get out and vote as well.
