a plea?


The Eleven hit the (early) absentee-in-person voting place this afternoon. As far as our county is concerned she qualifies because she works in the District and traffic, the two hours of transit throughout the day, means she can vote early. I can vote early because I’ll be working in another county as an Elections Officer on Election Day. We’re done - our man leads 2 to 0. No one will be visiting us now that the database shows us as having voted. I’ll give you this as a representation of how important this election is to many people. Obviously, the reasons you may have for voting for anyone is a wholly personal decision: taxes, the economy, immigration, marriage, foreign policy, etc., but there’s no doubt that the immense emotion involved this year is staggering. I, for one, firmly believe that we aren’t playing on a level playing field in America – in whatever area you might imagine – and what comes as pure emotion can be stunning.
