Today I voted in my 11th Presidential Election. Our state started the early voting process today. I’m glad they offer this service. The wait today was about 40 minutes and the line was out the door; however, the line moved quickly.
I am not ashamed to tell you that I voted for Kamala Harris. Why? I’m just tired of the junk and division created by Donald Trump. Is Harris the perfect candidate? No, but I feel that she is the better choice.
(Don’t bother trying to comment with hate. I have turned off the comments.)
When I checked in with my ID and registration, I was given instructions by the poll worker on how to use the equipment. I thanked her for the job she was doing. I know these poll workers are under intense scrutiny and I am thankful for them.
Do I trust the election process? I have to. There isn’t any other choice. I just have to hope that my vote is fairly counted like every other vote.
So how have my past votes fared? Out of 11 Presidential Elections only five have won. Yikes. I did abstain from voting in 2016 (big mistake) and I will never make that mistake again.
We all worry about what is going to happen with the election and when the votes are certified but my wife and I can only do our part and vote. We have no other control over the outcome or what happens next.
I am just mostly tired of all of this election stuff. It is emotionally draining. I want it to be over. I don’t want to worry about my country. I’m tired of us being our own worst enemies. I’m just done with it all.
