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.

I voted nearly a month ago and am beating myself up agonizing over what they may be doing with my ballot in the mean time. Worry, worry.

But all of the news programs have been showing the candidates encouraging folks to vote early. You know, Michelle O came to Wisconsin just to tell her folks to vote early because “Your toilets may be overflowing on election day.” Truly! I thought that was insulting to the people of Wisconsin, but it is what it is.

But, on Sat., both sides were telling people to vote early, and all of the Fox News readers were saying the same, warning of potentially lengthy power outages. Florida was reporting long lines at the polls and churches in Florida were delivering parishioners to the polls by the bus load.

I didn’t “rag” on her because I was on my way to church and suddenly had a dead battery in my car. But I thought angry thoughts. She acted like she had never heard of voting early. I’m still mad about 2000 when I had 3 “in laws” who didn’t vote because they weren’t registered. Sometimes I wonder about the choices my kids made when they married! Arrrrrggggghhh!
