Vote!
Okay, I should have posted this earlier, but all the same I hope you voted today. We are so privileged to have a voice!
I love election days. I'm sure you are all checking the polls frequently, as am I. What do you think of the whole polling idea though. I personally think they can negatively affect the election process. First, they are inaccurate because they don't poll cell phone users(most young adults use their cell as a primary phone as I do), or expatriates. Second, they create a self-fulfilling prophecy for some people. The whole idea that they see one person way ahead in the polls and think "my vote won't make any difference, I just won't go.", and they aren't accurate. So it is misleading to the public, as so many things in media are. Anyway, that's my spill for now.
No matter what happens I know God is in control.
