Election Eve

I did it. I voted for a democrat for president.

Tonight I sat down at the kitchen table, spread out all the election junk mail, voter guides, newspaper recommendations, and my four local, state, and federal ballots, and set to work. About two hours later, I was done.

Tomorrow, all I have to do is walk down the block and pop it in the box for absentee ballots. I’m interested to see whether there’s a big line at my polling place. Fortunately for me, you don’t have to wait in line to turn in an absentee ballot. That’s one of the many reasons I choose to vote this way.

Below you can see all the election mail we got this year, it’s the entire right half of the table; 64 pieces. On the left is the stuff I actually use to finalize my votes on any issues I’m still undecided about.
