Vote
XI
Election
day is one month out; stay focused everyone. The real peril to our republic and
our democracy begins November 3rd.
I
voted yesterday. I went to the early voting location at 980 E. Hennepin in
Minneapolis. They open at 8:00 am, and I got there about ten minutes early.
There was a couple ahead of me and we chatted while we waited to be let in.
They
were nice.
The
process was very organized, with lots of activity going on in the parking lot.
In
Minnesota early voting is basically absentee voting, you get your ballot, and
the double envelope. They make sure the envelopes are sealed and signed
properly, and they post mark it before you put it in a ballot box.
I
was done by 8;13 am, with my voting early sticker proudly displayed on my jacket.
It
is worth it.
Go
early, don’t rely on the mail, don’t risk your vote, don’t subject yourself to
the possibility of election day shenanigans.
If
you are feeling well, go to one of the early voting places and vote early. Get
your vote counted, stand up and participate.
Donald
Trump is in the hospital but his campaign is still spreading misinformation,
still trying to suppress the vote, still stoking racial animus and engaging in
other un-American activities. He is still threatening to challenge the results
in court, to next accept the vote should it go against him (and it will), still
encouraging mob violence and voter intimidation both on election day and in the
days that follow.
Stay
vigilant, support your poll workers, be ready to meet Trump’s brown-shirts in
the street if they interfere with the election or the counting.
Have a plan, and don’t be taken by surprise.
