True. When you consider a 40% turnout and elections are won by 51% of the vote, that leaves a lot of people out.

I voted at 6:15am (NJ polls opened at 6) which is nice, but now I'm an hour early for work.

in line at 7 and still #66, so I was thrilled. Never so thrilled to be in a long line:)

PS – I owe you (and the rest of the world) a real email, I know. Sorry…

I've always said if you don't vote, then you don't have the right to complain.

Well, at least we did better than 40% this year. And thanks for being one of the people who made his voice heard this year (as I imagine you do every election).

It's great to see high turnout, even better (from my poll experience) to hear people talking about the election in ways that made me fairly sure they had done their homework.

PS – about the email you owe us, I'll let you slide, since it took me over a week to even respond to your comment. Thanks for stopping by.

Well said. That's basically what I've been telling people for a few months now. This quote capsulized the sentiment well, in my view.
