Do It.

I did. Days ago, in fact, with no long lines, mix-ups or troublemakers. Early voting was in a nearby circuit court facility, which meant going through security (as in, practically being strip searched, though still setting off the alarm three times, which turned out to be no more than the eyelets on my boots). There were all kinds of important state and local races to wade through, including a bitterly disputed state income tax referendum. But you’ll understand if my finger jabbed the screen pretty damn hard when I checked off that very first one at the top…figuratively poking someone in the face, I suppose, but doing it on behalf of all the relatives and ancestors that came before me and would’ve been so horrified at the national nightmare we’ve endured the past few years. 

Agree, disagree, doesn’t matter. What matters is that you get out and vote if you haven’t yet, and then watch along with me and everyone else in America – and around the world – for every fucking legal vote to be counted.
