Here ...I envy you your walk, so I took it with you. Here we don't stroll to the polls anymore; we voted in an all-mail-in-ballot system. I thought I'd hate it, and I voted against it. But now I'm voting even better. You know all those measures and oddities that you seem to have seen for the first time when you pull that curtain? And you're not completely sure how you should vote? Now we have our ballots open on the kitchen counter for weeks before the election. We fill it in as we become informed, and figure out what we need to learn. We can turn them in early and turn OFF the election mail and telephone calls. Maybe I can walk to the old school basement for nostalgia purposes, but I'm a convert.Murr Brewsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03422638986410813520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16517751.post-24364566913234020402011-11-17T10:09:42.757-05:002011-11-17T10:09:42.757-05:00It does matter, and you summed it up beautifully.It does matter, and you summed it up beautifully.Kevin McKeeverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10673014424525900380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16517751.post-58820418356014358782011-11-13T18:58:17.687-05:002011-11-13T18:58:17.687-05:00Elections are about freedom and choice and sometim...Elections are about freedom and choice and sometimes I exercise the freedom and the choice NOT to participate in voting. I like local elections where I actually know the issues and how the candidates feel on topics. Sometimes I just feel like my voice isn't heard on the national level and so I don't waste the 10 minutes on it. Most times I'm frustrated that unless you are either red or blue you won't get elected--or the media coverage.<br /><br />We didn't have elections here this week so I couldn't join you on your walk.Linhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07042143254001890567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16517751.post-1820005250504852682011-11-08T20:33:55.322-05:002011-11-08T20:33:55.322-05:00I voted, as I always do.

But I'm sad about 2 things: 1) with 10 offices on my ballot, 9 candidates are running unopposed; 2) as of 4:30, less than 15% of the registered voters in my district had voted. The 2 facts may be related.MJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09673121222194224181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16517751.post-50454901689973567452011-11-08T20:32:04.479-05:002011-11-08T20:32:04.479-05:00I voted, as I always do.
