I've seen enough elections to know that, irrespective of the winner, the big picture will remain roughly the same; the rich will get richer, and everybody else will keep getting the leftovers. So, whenever someone says "this is the most important election ever", I shrug. The good thing about our system is that we can try again in 4 years if we make the wrong choice - look back and you'll see plenty of apocalyptical predictions for the victory of candidate X, Y or Z.

Did what I could - a single ballot...

Talking with some folks out here in SoCal - they're like why as Cali is already a given for a particular party/candidate...

Response - it's the popular vote for one as to the Pres/VP slots, but it's also the undercard - the Senate/House on a national level, and the local things like Mayor, Country/City Commision, the judges, even for some governors...

Your local schoolboard needs a hand or two - and in Cali, school bonds...

Fill it out, turn it in to a dropbox, or mail it in - voting in person - that's good as well.

We all have a single ballot - fill it out, and let your voice be heard.

And then take a break...
