Despite all our flaws, no better place to live. Remember to thank your poll workers.
Someday, I hope all of us have the day off like many of us do. Worth taking a day and remembering how serious this day is.
We celebrate the veterans (Friday) and our current Military (May), our workers (Sept)- it's time we celebrate what makes America really great- that we can vote. This should be a national holiday. And I'd keep it on Tuesday- just so that it can't turn into a long weekend away.
What's the deal with thanking pole workers? Do you stuff a dollar in their underwear like at other poles?
In reply to Huckleberry:
If that's the case, then I may volunteer to work the pole. Do you think they have an amateur hour?

Only if they start serving booze at my town hall.
I voted back in October. It was awesome, no lines!
Voted and thanked. Thank the FSM this business is done with.
When does the next campaign start, June?

Not at my place. Good heavens man.
Other than Canada of course, but regardless, best wishes going forward.

My retired uncle was out yesterday setting up computer stuff for a polling location, then back at it this morning at like 5am.
Remember me in 2020, I plan to run. My only promise? Keep Daylight Savings Time 365/year.

Dude, there was a projected winner months ago. Won't stop me from throwing my vote away by following my conscience, though!
Once I took a day off to work the primary. In Will County, Illinois you got paid $135 to be an election judge - it was a 5am to 9pm day since I had to deliver the ballots to Joliet.
It was interesting asking people to declare their party and it was a long day but a fun day.

It's my very close friend's 75 year old mother! Creepy.

I think this is why we don't get early voting in Michigan because so many people here get the day off to vote. Didn't go first thing to avoid the 'on the way to work' voters. Leaving to vote now with my cheat sheet filled out from my 'League of Women Voters' voter guide. They are someone else who need thanking. The people who create those guides all they way down the ballot. It must be a hell of an undertaking.
