#90. VOTE!!

The Task: VOTE!!

Progress: I registered in my new county on 11/6/07 & received my card on 11/25/07. I've always been an absentee-ballot-voter (stemming back to when I was away at college but still registered at my permanent address). Elliot would request the absentee ballots for me & they would *magically* show up about a month before the election. How could I not vote?! It literally gave me no excuse. Now, however, that civic duty rests on my shoulders alone. And believe me, in my family, I feel the pressure - you're talking to the daughter of a man who might as well have have his local politicians on speed dial... his voice is heard that much! So after some prodding from my mom, I got around to requesting my absentee ballots on 01/26/08.... too late for the FL Primary :o(

This means that I still had to brave my local designated polling place today, something I try to avoid at all costs. I was finally confronted with one of those new-fangled touch screens. The good news is it wasn't that busy... & I'm already signed up for absentee ballots for every election through 2010 so I won't have to deal with this hassle again for a long, long time! Yea for absentee ballots!! Since everything is lined up for me to vote effortlessly in all upcoming elections, task considered complete.
