I’m an old-fashioned voter.  I actually like to take the ceremonial stroll past the flags and into the polling place.  On a good Election Day, there’ll be a line and a shortish wait.  It’s the only time of the year that I want to stand in line — it means the voters have come out, and maybe this time, our fate will be decided by the many, and not just the motivated few.

True, scoundrels are always among us, with their sub-sleazy attempts to steal the vote from the people.  And Election 2008 is unique for the sheer amount of skulduggery being uncovered early and often.  (For examples, check out my October 23 post. )

All the more reason to vote.  Poll-workers put in a long day; please give them a smile and your thanks.

BUT …  if your voting experience does not pass the smell test, please raise a stink of your own.  Pull out your cell phone on the spot, or request a phone from the poll-worker, and dial 1-866-OUR-VOTE (1-866-687-8683).

Most important:

If you have not voted already … VOTE on November 4!
