Yes. Important. Colorado has had mail voting for years. I haven’t moved in 30 years so I’m all set. And oh yeah, I’m going to vote. Don’t care about your affiliation, just think, and vote. ---

For such a low bar that has been set, I’m hoping some can get over it. ---

I’ve been constantly registered to vote for nearly 60 years. I’m always amazed at how many people fail to register and then seem surprised when there’s an election. I guess they’re just too busy to register. ---

The wife and I are both registered and will be voting. She’s been voting ever since becoming a citizen just under two years ago. She was very happy to tick Biden/Harris as her very first choice in her very first US election. Hawaii is a reliably blue state though. But it’s still nice to be able to add our numbers to the total. ---

And make sure you know where and how to vote. ---

Registering to vote was one of the first things my wife and I did when we moved to Massachusetts last year, even though as Democrats its just coals to Newcastle. But we did it, and just last week voted in our first statewide election the primary. I looked up the details of all the candidates for all the contested offices (all Democrats, obviously) and tried to decide which Dem was better, i.e., more liberal. 😁
