2024 52 Card Project: Week 43: Vote

[pegkerr]

Not a particularly good collage, but I am at a particularly low ebb right now.

I voted early last week. It helped my anxiety over the election (which is considerable) to get it done early.

I have written and erased this statement three times, but decided, in the end, to just say it-- although I never thought I would have to say something like this about elections in America:

I hope our country manages a peaceful election, comes to a clear decision (the correct one, dammit), and survives the result and the transition of the rightful leader without violence.

Same. And my daughter - who is traveling for work next week (starting Wed) got an email from her company advising people to be safe, in the event they're traveling during a "tumultuous time." Who knew that a peaceful transfer of power was something we could no longer take for granted? Ugh.

Well!

Sure ain't no party of Eisenhower no more. It's always been hard to recruit Republicans to work as election judges in our fair city, perhaps because the job involves helping people and that is not in their nature.

I hope for these things as well. I am taking some annual leave to go to the polls Tuesday morning.
