Election Day - 2006
Mike and I went to vote for the first time in our new area today, and while I was able to vote without problems, once again Mike's voter resignation hadn't gotten updated, so we had to go back to our old polling place for him to vote. (He could've voted with a provisional ballot, but the lady we spoke with told us that more often than not, those don't even get counted.)
I've voted every year since Mike and I have been together, and it's a good feeling. Every year I tell myself I'm not going to wait until the last minute to read up on the issues and the candidates, and every year, I put it off till the last minute. I need to stop with the apathy already. The one issue I did know about well in advance this year was the proposed marriage amendment. I understand that gay marriage is a hot topic for a lot of people, but I just don't see it as the erosion of religion or traditional marriage that some view it as. Hopefully the majority of the people who vote today don't vote for this stupid amendment either.
