I got up early this morning to be at the polls as soon as they opened to vote. It was a brisk 36 degrees outside and I neglected to bring my coffee. Needless to say, It was a looong wait in the cold. However, waiting in such a long, cold line gave me a greater sense of fulfillment than if I had just skipped in and out in under a few minutes. I didn’t just vote, I VOTED. (All caps because of the wait and the weather.)
As a Georgia native, I missed walking away from the polls with the classic Peach Voter Sticker. I miss that little peach. I was really hoping for something Native American on my Oklahoma sticker or maybe even a scene from the land rush. I know, the sticker isn’t the important part. (But a Sooner Schooner sticker sure would have complimented my sweater today.) *wink*
Sticker preferences aside, please get out there and do your part by voting today. No excuses. Just because you don’t live in a swing state does not mean that you shouldn’t go vote. Every vote counts. Remember, you’re not just voting for the President of the United States. There are also other important state questions and state positions to be voted for.
