My daughter in VA threw a sockdolager at me yesterday when she called to tell me all of the storm precautions she had taken for her family (lots of cooking and shopping.) I asked if they had voted yet. “Voted? I can’t do that unteil the 6th.” I told her that everyone else in the storm beseiged parts of the country was voting early because of potential lengthy power outages.
Honest to God. Sometimes I fell like I have failed as a mother. I’m not even sure that her husband is registered. It has become a sore point between us. He’s a wonderful husband and father, but he doesn’t believe in voting.
Seriously? You’re upset she hasn’t voted ? My family is voting on Election Day. Republicans aren’t big fans of early voting and unless you are a poll worker or will be out of town that day I see no reason to vote early. I don’t know anyone of my friends who is rushing to vote bc of the storm, they will offer paper ballots if the electronic is unavailable. I think you’re being silly for ragging on her for this. It has never occurred to me to vote early and there aren’t many more politically aware than our family.
