During these trying times we all must do something according to our conscience. But we must not let others dictate what that must be. Not everyone is called to knock on doors/go to rallies/write editorials etc etc. If you go into the booth and with a pen carefully color within the lines for your choice, then your conscience is clear.
And if you cross your fingers and feel a bit nervous, that’s OK too.
Yes. I’m looking at tomorrow with an odd mix of hope and dread. We voted early and will be in Mexico. Always interesting to get our Mexican friends’ perspective.
So true and insightful

I voted early as well and will be working the polls tomorrow. I have no idea what to expect but I feel good conscience will win.
