If you haven’t taken the time to vote yet, get out there and do it already! The reason we got stuck with the Bush administration for eight years is because people were too frakkin lazy, in the words of Chief, to get out of the house and make a difference.
Those who have read my blog regularly probably realize that I’m a big Obama supporter, but no matter whom you personally support, your support means nothing unless you make it to the polls today. (Remember though — it was the Clinton presidency that set the stage for Bush’s rise to power in 2000. Just keep that in mind in case you were planning on voting for Billary.)
Here in Utah, to vote in the Republican primary, you must be registered with the Republican Party. The Democratic Party allows for Independents to vote in their primary without registering with their party. Since I’m not from Utah, I don’t know if you can change your party affiliation at the polling location or if you just have to cast a provisional ballot.
For those voting en absentee, your ballots must be received by your election board before polling ends this evening. Some states, including Oklahoma, require that your ballots be sent through USPS and cannot be delivered in person. In other words, the only way you’re getting your absentee ballot in this late is if you know the Postmaster General himself.
