I early voted! So privaledged to have this constitutional right as an American citizen. So glad Chicago has early voting available starting today at all 50 Ward sites. Proud to make my voice heard.

I stood in line for 40 minutes, then spent around 10 minutes voting for the 2016 Presidential election in the USA. I live in Chicago, IL. When I got there at 9am, which was the first moment on the first day early voting started, one of their voting machines was down, and two of their card programing computers too. Plus people did not know how to shuffle forward when the line moved. What really struck me though was that the voter card programing woman was shocked that I actually had my voter ID card. I asked her if people usually brought theirs. She told me hardly anyone ever did, but that it is 3 times as fast to set up the electronic card for the voting machine if you have it. She actually thanked me for bringing it. She told me policy dictates that people are supposed to have them in order to vote, but that technically you can still vote with a State or Federal picture ID. I love voting, and feel so happy and proud to have done it for my 3rd Presidential election. I was 18 in 2008 and voted, I did again in 2012, and now in 2016. I also vote in local elections too. I am so happy that despite the problems in America, we can speak our truth via our vote (although the 2000 election was falsified and rigged to give us a false result, but that is in the past and I don’t want to gripe). I hope that whatever the results of the Presidential, Vice Presidential, and congressional elections, that progress and change are made, and that the devisiveness, the anger, and the hatred subside. I hope for the rise of a more loving, open-minded, and unified nation. Forces of the Universe Bless America and the world as a whole! Be well.

He’s so focused. (via saraboulos)
