I just wanted to take a moment to say how I am always in awe on election day. To see and be a part of the democratic process is a privilege that I wish everyone in the world could share. It is a great honor to go to the polls and cast my vote.

I think it's just pitiful when a "good turnout" is 44%. To think that men and women died to give us our voice and people don't exercise their civic duty boils my blood.

I thank those service men and women, past and present, that have given me this privilege!!! I think it an honor to wear that "silly" sticker because so many have sacrificed to give me that opportunity.

God bless America!!!!

I split my ballot today... It's the first time in a very long time that I did not vote party line.  It seems that this year is a choice of the lesser of two evils, incompetents, or ugly campaigners, none of whom really deserve my vote.  However I still voted because I think it's my duty and a cherished right.

Since I voted after work on my way home, I proudly wore my sticker today!

You can say that again!  There needs to be a "none of the above" choice wherein if that option receives the most votes, then neither candidate wins and they do the election over again with different people!  And over and over and over until someone finally gets it right.
