baliaoWelp, I did my duty.
How it feels to vote in a blood-red state.
Only minus the paper. Seriously. Electronic voting is so unsatisfying. You tap a really crappy, old-school touchscreen a few times and a message pops up saying that your ballot has been cast. CAN I GET A RECEIPT PLEASE PEOPLE?
Anyway, I suppose there's something to be said for contributing to a popular mandate, if nothing else. I just wish my pet issue – institutional reform – would start to get some attention. If someone put proportional representation on the ballot, even just for local elections, you'd see me going door-to-door every single day.
