I mailed in my absentee ballot which has me really nervous. It seems too easy for it to get "lost"- especially since I am in Florida.
Along the same lines as TonyB- the students of FAMU hosted an early voting event last week and I was listening to coverage on the radio. The DJ made a profound comment. The turnout for the event was fantastic as the line was wrapped around the state capitol and down the block. They had vendors out donating food and everything. The DJ said "People are complaining and refusing to come out and vote because the line is too long. At least there are no dogs being sicked on us, or fire hoses being turned on us, no one is spitting on us, or throwing rocks at us, in fact, we are in line eating free hotdogs and listening to music. There is no excuse for not voting." I thought he was so on point.
