Tomorrow Is Election Day
Tomorrow is the big day and as all the votes are coming in I’ll be at the Ultimate Election Watch Party (more info to follow later). I talked with a lot of people regarding the election this weekend. All had early voted and like me were in awe to have the opportunity to elect the first black President of the United States. Before casting my vote, I just stepped back and looked at the screen. I never thought I’d ever get the chance to do this, but this hasn’t been the first time I’ve been wrong.
If you’re a regular reader, you’ll know there is more to my vote than race. Obama is not the first African-American to run for office. I thought from the beginning that he should be VP to Clinton, then make a run for President. I honestly didn’t think he could take the Clinton Machine down. But after his announcement stating his intent to run I was down. What impressed me the most was when said in an interview, that he wasn’t running the race to be a Vice President. He knew from the very beginning what he wanted to do and I could respect that.
In talking to some of my friends I found they had a similar reaction to the one I had in the voting booth. They said they reviewed and re-reviewed the screen before submitting their vote. No one wanted to mess this one up. A lot of people also admitted that they were still nervous despite what the polls were saying. I think the last election made us paranoid because I have to admit I had the same feeling also. Something has to come up at the last minute to cause some sort of controversy. Even the writers of the Simpsons have something to say about it. I guess we’ll see tomorrow.
If you haven’t gone already, good luck at the polls.
Before voting you must:
- Have a Voter’s Registration Card or ID
- Vote at the correct precinct (found on card)
- Have no party paraphernalia
- Expect long lines
