It’s almost 5:00 p.m. here on the east coast. I’ve been anticipating the election for so long that I’m sitting here at work worrying that I’ve forgotten something.
Yes, I voted. I dropped off my absentee ballot over a week ago. The online checker for my state confirms that it was received, but that’s all they tell me. They don’t tell me if it was accepted or not.
In retrospect, I kind of wish I’d waited to vote in person, but was worried about waiting to vote, too, in case there were any Election Day shenanigans or protests, or if I got sick, or hit by a bus…
So now I sit here wishing there was something I could do.
