I decided to go do early voting this year. I’m planning on being too busy working on election day to be able to get to the polls, so I went down to the registrar’s office to do an early voting ballot. I was surprised that they were asking for a justifiable reason for early voting – they were calling it absentee voting, not early voting, and they said that I had to have a “good” reason for doing it – like being out of town, being disabled, being at work during the polling hours. So I filled out the form, explaining that I was going to be working all day and unable to get to the polls. It only took a few minutes before they called me up to the voting booth. The booth had a touch screen monitor that I only had to touch lightly with my fingertips to get my vote cast. So, I’m glad I’m done!  My vote has been cast – I hope you go vote too!
