I forgot to say: I VOTED!

[lunabee34]

I early voted today for Stacey Abrams.

I have never been nervous voting ever, but I was nervous today because my address on my driver's license and the address on my voter registration card don't match. When we moved, I updated my voter registration, but my driver's license doesn't expire until 2021, so I didn't want to pay to get another one. The whole reason I voted early instead of waiting for Election Day is that I was worried I'd get to the poll and be rejected because they're not an exact match. If it was going to be a problem, I wanted time to deal with it.

But fortunately, I was able to vote and nobody blinked an eye. I was still so anxious, though; like I double-checked my license every time I had to sign anything to be sure my signature was matching the one on my license (I had to go two places to vote: one place for local city elections and another for state/county elections).

WHOOOOOOOOO AWESOME I'M SO JEALOUS I hope hope hope she wins!

[lunabee34]

ME TOOOOOOOOO!

I am not going to let myself get all het up about it, though, or the disappointment will be crushing.

[monanotlisa]

Go you!

But, I feel you. I would have done exactly as you did, for the same reason. And that really says a lot about the US we live in now... :/

[lunabee34]

I know. :(

And then I felt even worse when I thought about how anxious people who don't have my privilege must feel.

[notasupervillain]

Yay! Look at you fulfilling your civic duty!

I hope she wins! The deck's really stacked against her, but it seems like even so they're really neck in neck so there's still a chance!

[lunabee34]

Me too! I mean, I think there's definitely a possibility that she will win, but I don't think it's very likely. At least I did my part.

[timespirt]

Alas, my state doesn't have early voting so I have to wait until next Tuesday.

[lunabee34]

I hate that for you. It really does make it easier if you have a couple of weeks in which you can go.

"HUGS"

Can't wait till it's over. This is the dirtiest political year we have ever had.

[chelseagirl]

Hoping so hard that Abrams wins. And with all the dirty tricks against voters in Georgia, and nationwide, no wonder you are nervous . . .

[lunabee34]

Me too!

For once, I don't feel like my anxiety is unjustified! LOL

I just hope that everyone who is eligible to vote and tries to vote has their vote counted.

[independence1776]

Yay! (I'm not thinking about the election results, as that just makes me anxious.)

[lunabee34]

I know! I fully expect that she will lose, but there's always hope.

[umadoshi]

Yay, voting accomplished!

[spikedluv]

Yay! And what does it say about our country right now that you had to be so worried about voting? Arrgh.

[lunabee34]

I know. :( I mean, I am naturally an anxious person, but this was a road too far even for me.

WOOHOO! \o/

in my state you can get a separate card with your new address on it & when you have to show your driver's license or ID you show that too, and it's free.

[lunabee34]

I wonder if we can do that. I'll find out before the next presidential election.
