‘Election day’ arrives

Notice the quotation marks around the words “Election day,” and also notice I didn’t capitalize “day.”

It’s because the actual election day will be15 days from now. However, I am going to march into the belly of the beast sometime Monday to cast my ballots for a slew of candidates and issues along my lengthy ballot in Princeton, Texas.

I still cannot define with clarity why I have decided to break with the tradition of waiting until Election Day to cast my ballot. I won’t try.

I am just going to drive to the polling place and wait to cast my ballot. I am going to vote enthusiastically for a number of races, such as for president and the US Senate. I won’t belabor the points on why. You know why.

It’s a full ballot and none of the candidates with whom I am most familiar present any real threat of a candidate making a deal-breaking mistake between now and the day they count all the ballots. I will split my ballot among Democrats and Republicans.

I do enjoy the pageantry, such as it is, about Election day or Day. Indeed, I would support shutting down everything for Election Day, which this year falls on Nov. 5. Why not make casting our ballots for whom we want to lead us a national holiday?

That’s another story for another day.

A big day awaits tomorrow as Texas goes to the polls.

  1. Iā€™m sure youā€™re voting for Trump. Youā€™re way too smart to vote for Harris who canā€™t make a simple sentence without cackling or word salad. All she has is ā€œIā€™m not Trumpā€, as she states constantly. Sheā€™s even tried to sayTrump is low energy and is struggling. She says this crap as Trump is on a 7:00am talk show and had a late night rally the night before. He does numerous rallies a day while she does small group sessions every several days. Whoā€™s low energy?

    1. At a recent cult gathering in La Trobe PA, Trump rambled at length ( pardon the pun ) about Arnold Palmerā€™s genitalia.

      Kids were in the audience.

      Heā€™s a felon who claims he alone can enforce law and order.

      We have an old saying in my hometown: ā€œ That fella would rather bark lies while hanging upside down by his toes than stand upright and tell the truth.ā€

      Trumpā€™s character , integrity and morals are lower than whale crap.

      Iā€™m hoping Kamala has the last laugh after this clown and con artist is sent to prison.

      1. One, I donā€™t give a crap about his morals, not in this day and age. I care about results. And Two, heā€™s proven he can do the things he says. He did it once. Thereā€™s no reason he canā€™t do it again, unless democrats end up with the House and Senate. They would rather take care of illegals and transgenders.

  2. DM,

    Youā€™re obviously one thatā€™s not voting for Harris, but instead voting against Trump. Has to be the case considering Harris has ZERO accomplishments and no policies of her own, except the ones sheā€™s copied from Trump.

    I guess weā€™ll just cancel each otherā€™s vote.

  3. Why the moderation? We canā€™t have dialogue when we have to wait hours for comments to be approved, if they are.
