US Election Day 2024
Tuesday, November 5th, 2024 07:07 amThis Dreamwidth journal is my fannish home. I don't often talk about non-fannish things here.
But it's Election Day in the United States. If you're an adult US citizen, and you have not yet voted, please make absolutely sure that you will get to the polls today before they close in your state. Please vote your true conscience for the common good of your community, our country, and our world. We're all depending on each other. As we do every day, really! The common good is our common responsibility. Why else are we here, if not to care for each other?
If you forgot to register to vote, take heart: it may not be too late! Twenty-three states and Washington, DC all allow same-day registration. You can register right there at your polling place. Check your state's Secretary of State website for your state's rules.
And if you're afraid of someone finding out how you voted... unless they rip your ballot from your hand before you cast it, not gonna happen. Your vote is between you and your conscience and all of our futures.
Every state matters. Every office matters. Every vote matters.
I dropped off my ballot at the official box at my local public library a bit back. I'll be wearing my "I voted" sticker all day today. God gave me a conscience; I'm exercising it.
There's a Harris-Walz bumper magnet on my car.
