I always get a good feeling when I put on my "I voted today" sticker. I know every one does.

Voted last week at Mulberry Grove. Easy Peasy, in and out.

I enjoy the process of getting up early, going to my polling place, and voting on election day. It makes me feel part of the process. The only day I've missed was when I first move to The Villages and had to use an absentee ballot from my previous residence. It just didn't feel like voting to me. For that reason I avoid early voting or absentee ballots. But I'm happy to hear that many of you enjoy voting.

I know...I would have no input as to Primary/final election entrants. So be it.

And being an NPA on the voting database, I don't receive emails/mails/comms from any Party. good.

My father (way back when...) used to vote Republican straight down any ticket. My Mom tended to vote split - I recall when my dad found out my mom voted for JFK in the '60 election... he was not pleased...

In the next general election, I have decided to let my five voting age grands tell me how to vote. It is their future, not mine.

A very interesting decision and worth considering.

Something to think about. If I remember Mr. Scallion you have retired from the military as an officer and a gentleman. You assuredly are quick, witty and clever on this forum and if I recall you are also in your seventies. Your grandchildren are probably in their twenties and assuredly have grown up in a lovely family with good things and people guiding them, so I am sure that they are well educated and smart as tacks. But what they lack in my view, is the years of living and observing that you have. Our two grandchildren will cancel out each other's vote, but they are both well versed on the issues.

Absolutely correct!!

I got my sticker this morning!

Many years ago, when I worked for the Coors Distributorship in Amarillo, our boss gave us time off to vote and insisted that we do so. His words were, "I don't care how you vote, I don't want to know how you voted or for which candidate(s), just exercise your right to vote and give it your best. They are slowly taking away many of our freedoms, so do your part to see that voting is not one of them."

Yes, a lot of patriots died to guarantee that we can vote--If ,IMHO if you don't declare as a Democrat or a Republican in Fl, you might have to vote for a candidate in Nov=that you will have to hold your nose when you vote

every vote counts--remember the hanging "chads"

[rivaridger1]

With all the local veterans in The Villages you are reminded on a daily basis of their service which preserves our right to vote. My spouse and I vote in every election.

Jebartle. We may not vote the same way, but I like you so much.

Back "atcha" Gracie girl.
