WE VOTED EARLY!


We voted yesterday.  Well, not me.  I'm not old enough, not yet.
But when mine Mommy was looking at the sample ballot that came in the mail,
I helped by putting my paw on who she should choose!
She said that was very helpful.

We chose a new Senator, and a Mayor for our city.
We also chose several people for City Council, and some Judges, new and old.

There was a really important amendment to our state constitution
to protect the reproductive rights of women! YES!

And there were a lot of ballot initiatives to fund or not fund,
things for our city and county, some we approved and others we did not approve.

It took some time to read through it all before deciding on some of those
issues, and even to do a little research on a few of them.
But it's really critical to be a well informed voter.

Mine Mommy told me she has now voted for over 60-years, and she doesn't
think she's ever missed an election ~ local, primary or presidential.
She's also been registered and voted in 6 different states.

She also said she doesn't put a lot of "faith or trust" in all these polls!
With all her own personal voting history,
she's never once been polled by any pollster anywhere anytime!

And meow, I almost furgot to mention that we also
voted for Madam President ~ the hat I'm wearing today,
I think this is the one I'll be wearing for the next 4 years!

  3. Cool hats, June. It's getting a bit scary and nervewracking. Around here there's a couple of funny yard signs. One of our favorites is a "Grab Him By the Ballot" sign. Mom and dad are voting in person.

  7. June, The Hubby and I usually vote on the day of the election just because it's a block away and a short walk is always preferable AND I like to chat up the volunteers 'cause we always talk BOOKS!
    However, found a notice that early voting is available at City Hall now, and we hope tons of people get it done.

  12. We're back...maybe not as regularly s we'd like...but we read through all the posts we missed and enjoyed them...spooky and all!
    Petcretary says she is allowed to grumble about anything political, no matter which side of the street , because not being a citizen, she's not allowed to vote here in the USA. But you're too cute and sweet to grumble about at all, Miss June!
    Hubby and sons do vote, hubby already has cast his. Now its wait and see and hope, right??
    With your hat covering your eyes, Miss June, are you scared to look/watch it all?? Surely not!

  14. We voted last week. Ohio is not a "swing state" so it hasn't gotten a lot of natural attention, but there were a lot more people voting early than our human has ever seen and she first voted for a president in 1964 . Thee were as many people there to vote early as she has seen at the regular polling places mid-morning.

  16. I am grateful to your Mommy for doing her duty and exercising the privilege to vote. There are too many people in this world who would love to be able to vote for good leaders and are not allowed to do so for any of us in the USA to not do so when we so easily and freely can.

    We will walk across the street on Election Day to our polling place, which has never had more than a 15 minute wait when we've gotten there.

  17. I voted last week. I don't feel my vote matters as much because my state always go one way and I always go the other, but I always vote anyways.

  18. We'll be voting early this week, too, Juney. We canvassed all day today in a battleground state for who we hope will be Madam President!
