Go Vote!

Unless you’ve been living inside of a cave with poor tv reception or perhaps under a rock, you’re probably aware that tomorrow is election day in the United States. Any and all issues that could possibly be discussed have been thoroughly dissected by the candidates, the media, and the blogosphere. Therefore, unless you’re still squeezed in to that increasingly small piece of the pie chart labeled “undecided” (and are therefore likely also categorized as a moron, racist, ignorant, or all of the above), it’s time for you to go out and vote. If you are still undecided at this point, after what seems to have been the longest election campaign ever, you might be better off staying home so that whichever candidate wins, you can still say “it’s not my fault, I didn’t vote for him!” when you disagree with future policy changes. Obviously I’m hoping you vote for Barack Obama, but because this is a democracy, it is important that whoever you support, be it Barack Obama, John McCain, or even if you plan on writing in Optimus Prime, your vote matters. That isn’t to say this isn’t a flawed and corruptible system, as demonstrated in the 2000 election, but when more voices are heard it is harder to corrupt the process.

So whatever you have to do tomorrow, find time to go to your local polling place and vote. If you still aren’t sure where you vote, the following website will help: VoteForChange.com
