1. I voted. Four days ago. Dropped the ballot off at the local library.

I love vote by mail. And now we have online voter registration. Highly recommended! Sorry to know voter turnout is down this year. Disappointing, but at least it's not because of voter disenfranchisement. Not yet...

A wanna be repub state senator in my district is funded by Koch Brothers, and my own repub representative is head of our state's ALEC. Scary, but another reason to stay strong and keep fighting!

2. We did our job! For the most part, we beat the lobbyists, especially Reardon over Schauffler!

One more DINO who voted as a Republican out of the legislature! A good warning to other Dems around the country when they pay more attention to lobbyists and business interests than their constituents! Great day in that district!
