Tue Oct 22, 2024, 05:36 PM

Tuesday

My wife and I both voted absentee early this morning here in Missouri. Besides voting for Harris and all of the Democrats on the ticket we also voted on various changes to the Missouri Constitution including Amendment 3 which established the right for a person to make their own health care decisions. I hope your assessment is correct, but, it's going to be a very long two weeks waiting for the results.
