today is election day. this is not a post about who to vote for or who i hope will win, but instead about our amazing country and the belief in democracy.
i walked out of my building today, to be greeted by two citizens carrying huge signs reminding me to vote. they were not pushing an agenda, instead just getting out the vote. they asked if i voted and i said yes, they cheered. this made me feel proud to be an american. throughout the day, i passed approximately 15 people today who were also trying to get out the vote.
additionally, all of the buses in the city had scrolling electronic signs that said don't forget to vote.
perhaps it is because i live in a swing state and people are especially motivated, but either way, way to go america!
