Was it wasted?

To be perfectly honest, I don’t know.

In case you don’t know what I’m referring to, I’ll tell you. Today, I went to the courthouse here in town and filled out my absentee ballot for the upcoming election. I will be forthright and honest with everyone by telling you that I did do exactly what I said I would do and voted “None of the Above” for President and the three Congressional positions that were available for me to vote on. One of those was probably for a State Congress position but, after doing a bunch of research on the candidates, I decided that I am sick and tired of voting for the lesser of two evils. The only votes I did cast were for Supreme Court candidates and I didn’t know anything about those people.

Can you believe that we have SEVEN people on our ballots for President?! That is just amazing to me. I had no idea that THAT many people were available to vote for. Had I known, I might have done some more research before voting but, unfortunately, it is too late for a changing of the mind. While all those people might have been running for President, it is still a two party system and those people are voted for by the Electoral College.

http://www.sos.state.ms.us/about_sos/New%20Release%20PDF/2008%20SAMPLE%20BALLOT.pdf is an example of our ballot. It’s not exact, but it’s close.

So, maybe my vote wasn’t wasted after all. I think I did something this time that I will continue to do from now on – I voted my conscious for once.

And you know, I feel strangely good about doing that.

Blessings on all during this rough and tumble political season and may you vote your conscious for your own good.

Till Next Time,
Blessings!
