Out and about


I don't know why this made me laugh so much when I saw it on the road yesterday. It's just so intense. This lady just feels really, really strongly about having voter ID laws. So strongly that she thinks about it every day. Don't tread on her, and don't show up to vote without a photo ID.

It's fun to live in a "battleground state." (Well...for those of us with photo IDs anyway. /cringe) These most recent midterm elections saw a big fight between the incumbent senator Mark Warner and his Republican challenger, Ed Gillespie. In the end, the vote was practically split 50-50. Warner won with like 5 votes. (Okay, probably closer to 5,000.) Pretty much every election, even at the national and state levels, I've felt like my vote mattered, and not just symbolically. It's fun.

Side note, "don't tread on me" actually always reminds me of Meg's joke at the dance in "Little Women." Anyone?
