Vote, Voting, Voted

Voting is just something I have always done since I could. When I first went to vote, it was a primary, and the volunteers thought I was just there with my mom. I absentee voted in college, and re-registered whenever I moved after that.

When I started working at the blood center, I found out that there is a tie between people who vote and people who volunteer donate blood. Apparently civic duty is tied to volunteerism.

I just feel like if you don’t vote, then you can complain, and I like to complain! But I am getting really sick of all the campaigning, especially the negative ads.

I already know who I’m voting for, and will probably try to early vote, but my husband has a theory that if we do that then someone will get caught (with a prostitute or something, a la Gary Hart) and we will have already cast our vote. So maybe I’ll wait for the actual day. It’s coming up fast!
