We voted yesterday! First day polls are open at our County Court House for absentee ballot voting. Our neighbors, new to Iowa, voted, too. It was a friendly, welcoming process. No voter I.D. required. All was in order, carefully done. Now we are free on November 6th to help others go to the polls! Democracy means that we all work to make sure everyone is able to vote!
Commentators wonder which way the final vote on the Supreme Court nomination will swing in the Mid-terms. Will the Republicans be more fired up? Will the Democrats' determination to change things hold? We cannot know, of course. But I do know these things: We absolutely have to make sure that those people whom others want to keep away from voting are supported. How many names are being erased? What can I do? Who needs an I.D.? What can I do? Whose polling place has been changed without someone knowing about it? How can I let them know?
What can I do locally to make sure that information is correct and widely known? Whom can I tell that their vote matters and that they matter? That they really matter?
