Yesterday I took my completed and signed ballot to my board of elections office and slipped it into the box knowing that the post office wouldn’t screw up the delivery. While completing it, I googled the names of judges I didn’t know and noted what Florida governor appointed them. In case you haven’t heard, Florida has some problems with the current governor and his immediate predecessor. I wanted to be sure that I wasn’t voting for a judge beholden to the politicians who were trying to destroy our democracy. I feel that I did what I could to be I formed and it didn’t take very long, but the half hour I spent I think made a difference and made me feel as if I had accomplished something. My vote counts and if you don’t vote because you think yours doesn’t, you are part of the problem instead of the potential solution. Dan was absolutely right when he wrote that they are trying to wear you down and demoralize you. Don’t let them!

I like your sentiment. I will try to remain true to it but it’s getting harder.
