Have You Voted

     Once again it's election time.  You have probably heard it more than once " have you voted ".  It would be nice if 100% of the eligible population voted every election but that's never going to happen.  The fact of the matter is that most people don't vote and that should be a crime.  Every vote counts and don't let anyone tell you differently.  Every vote has the same political weight even though it's highly unlikely your piratical vote is going to be the exact vote that wins or loses an election.
     The Constitution says there is a right to vote.  One can not be denied  the right to vote because of race or gender.  We have come a long way from when only white male property owners were the only people allowed to vote.  Lots of bloody struggles occurred before all citizens regardless of economic status, race and gender were allowed into the voting booth.  Don't waste this right.  If you didn't vote early, vote on Tuesday November the 6th 2018.  I voted early, the fourth day of the early voting period. I tried to vote on the second day but found lines of at least 100 plus at four different polling sites.  I even went to one of those sites twice on the same day and both time there were at least 100 people in line.  On the fourth day when I voted there was only three people ahead of me,  I was in and out in no time.
