de-moc-ra-cy

On this, Election Eve, I hope tomorrow, Tuesday, November 4, we may we all cast our votes...
have a message similar to this pop on the screen, informing us that our votes have been recorded...
and leave with a sticker, knowing we have studied, pondered and participated in our great democracy.  
I also want to express my thanks to all candidates, in all states, running for all offices.  Bless you for your willingness to roll up your sleeves and serve our country.
Thank you to all the poll workers, who will work tirelessly on our behalf, including my mother, who then donates her "pay" for the day to an organization that clothes children, where she volunteers.
Thank you, America.  
Election day is a way good day!

I'm so glad we have the right to vote! This election has been crazy bananas and way too long, but I feel like the amount of public participation has been at an all time high. And no matter what happens today, history will be made and a barrier will be shattered. So that's good. I'm so glad you raised us to be patriotic and participate in our democratic society.
