Please Vote!!!

Ughhh I’m so scared they’re not going to get my vote in time. I had to do an absentee ballot since I’m in college and away from home, so it’s just been a mess, and I thought I might not be able to vote. I mailed it in Friday. I hope they get it. I need my vote to be out there because of people like my family members. My mom and her parents literally tried to tell me who to vote for, so now I feel even more obligated for my real voice to be heard.

I think absentee ballots may be slightly different. I believe it said, “must be received by 7 pm on 11/6” And it should be, but I’m still worried… It’s just very important to me, and idk, they just make the process so hard for people who can’t get to the polls. I didn’t even know about absentee ballots until my best friend told me, so it’s kind of strange that’s not a thing people are very informed about.

Yup, just as I suspected, they never got my ballot. And I'm furious. There's a website where you can track when everything is sent/received, and there's no received date for my ballot. I'm ready to knock something over.

There was also this thing in my state where they had to extend the polling times in some counties because there were some voter suppression shenanigans going on, and it really messed with the results up until the later polls closed, so I'm at the point where I don't trust my state's ability to make sure everyone's vote is counted.

Well, at least I drove two other people to the polls. I did more than my part.
