In the whole of my life I have never waited more than five minutes in line to early vote/vote. I am 49 and so that means in 31 years. Never.
Today I made it to the window for my ballot in just under 34 minutes. It was the middle of the afternoon. 😳
Don’t tell me something isn’t happening in this election.
I also want to say I have never cried reviewing my ballot and scanning it into the machine. I have never cried thanking poll workers. Never, never. Before today. 😪
I have prayed and prayed and wrestled over this election...and most every vote I had to cast (except one - thanks @cmjones99 for the quick civics lesson while I stood in line - my phone a friend). I am so proud of my selections.
I am proud of my wrestling. This is the most important election I have ever voted in. I 💯 believe that.
I would never ever tell anyone how to vote, but I will tell everyone who will listen TO VOTE. 🗳
It is our right...
...our responsibility...
...our civic duty...
People have fought and died for our rights...and more fought and died to make it to this country to work for a better life (and not too far back in my own personal family tree).
Use your voice + your vote.
Be part of the solution.
What a country. Seriously. We are the luckiest humans on the planet. 🌎
