I took some time at noon to visit my local clerk and recorder's office to cast my ballot for the midterm election. I'm sure none of you could possibly guess my picks for the top races. I also voted against the Terrible Trio of initiatives, even though they have been invalidated. Besides, I didn't want to miss my chance to express my opinion on them, countable or no.
Like plenty of other bloggers, I'm urging all of you Americans out there to vote early and avoid any delays or problems on election day. (I so wanted to write "early and often", out of respect for my Butte-Anaconda roots, but I refrained.) It took me maybe 20 minutes from the minute I got out of my car from the minute I drove away.
Now that my own vote has been gotten out, I'm hoping to take part in all kinds of GOTV on election day. I have a minivan, and I'm not afraid to use it.
