I hope Slab is OK with my post. I promise I won't get political.

I think voting is more than a privilege, I think it's a right that is to be protected at all costs.

My wife and I just came from our polling place and it's a madhouse. The parking lot was full and there was a line to get a ballot and a line to get a voting station. The poll workers said it had been that way since the polls opened. Our county uses paper ballots and that probably backs things up a bit. All the talking heads on TV say that mid-term elections don't matter. They should come out to fly-over country and ask that question.
