I registered here with the “permanent absentee” status box checked. My vote went in a week and a half ago, since I’m not yet up to standing in lines for very long at all.

Looking at polls across the country, it seems that everyone’s vote means more in this election. More people are registered, more people are taking advantage of early voting and absentee ballots, and the polls are showing a statistical dead heat in the presidential race. If you haven’t voted yet, let me urge you to take to time to do it. I feel that we need to hear from as many eligible voters as possible this time around. There is no place for complacency that I see, whatever your point of view happens to be.

If you are able, consider helping with “get out the vote” efforts. I wish I were up to it this year.
