Anyways, as it is election day, I wanted to reflect on my experience.
At school today, the conversation was buzzing with political issues. I had several conversations with friends, many of whom have different beliefs than I have. I just really hope that political opinions won't get in the way of friendships.
After school, I went to a church by my house to cast my ballot. I didn't really know what to do, but the people there were very friendly and helpful. I did think it was interesting how the candidates for county positions on the ballot did not list political party or if they were an incumbent. I had not heard of most of those people, so I sort of had to vote randomly on a couple.
Overall, it was a quick process that made me very proud. It's interesting to think that your vote affects who will be the next President.
One comment: I disapprove of people voting randomly. I don't care how irrelevant it is, it's better to skip a section in which you are uninformed. Leave the decision of District Judge and Soil Commissioner up to those who knows (sic). Otherwise, way to utilize your constitutional rights and not succumb to peer pressure.
