YOUR VOTE COUNTS!

. . . and for the first time I can remember, my vote counts, too.  Usually when I go to vote, I feel like I either know already who is going to win or at least I know which way California is going to go.  I vote anyway, but not thinking that my vote has much influence.

But this time, the California vote actually matters AND the California victory is possibly up for grabs.  So as I head across the street to Lynwood High School, I really feel important.

Tingle, tingle.  Here I go . . .

UPDATE: I'm glad I went early in the day.  My local poll workers didn't know how to handle a Non-Partisan who wanted to vote Democratic.  At first they sent me to the Independent voting booth where there were only independent candidates on the ballot.  I had to explain to them what they were supposed to do and then I was successfully able to vote.  So now anybody who comes in there after me will get good service.
