Vote!

4 November 2008

November 4 is finally here. It feels like it’s been a long time coming. The top thing on my to-do list today is to vote. I expect there will be a line (Missouri doesn’t have early voting), and I don’t care how long the line is. As long “Vote” is checked off my list I don’t care what else gets done today.

No matter who you’re voting for, this presidential election feels critical. Voter turnout is expected to be the highest since 1908, when 66 percent of the eligible population voted. Here’s an interesting article from National Geographic’s website on the history of voter turnout in the last century.

You can be a part of making history. If you haven’t already, please go out there and participate in the process.
