have YOU voted today?

I voted for the second time in my life today and I must say I'm proud of myself; it wasn't even a presidential election! But with the polls right down at 4 corners, it's really not that hard. Voting in a small town is great. You have to sign your name in a book and you get this manilla folder to hide your ballot. Then you have to mark your answers with a sharpie and slide it in a box. I'm even more proud of myself because I knew all the people I voted for except the governor. I'd even met most of them personally because of Health Care Policy class last semester (one of them even came and taught a class for us). That means I even knew some of what they stand for (mostly about healthcare issues). Tennessee's Senatorial campaign is an important one and there were also serious issues on the ballot like an amendment about marriage being only between a man and a woman and whether people can sell alcohol in Collegedale (can this issue please be settled???). So here's to being a well informed voting citizen! Tomorrow when you see the news will you be able to say your vote made a difference?
