I am so frustrated.
We sent in an application to Colorado weeks ago to have our address changed to CT. We still hadn't received our ballots last week so we called the El Paso county voting office. After being on hold for 15 minutes we got someone to figure out where our ballots were. They hadn't even been mailed.
Now here we are, planning on leaving tomorrow morning at 8 for Baltimore, and we have no ballots. I want to vote! What can I do? Not much. I was almost in tears with the voting person today complaining about the situation. She didn't really care.
Tomorrow morning we're going to the post office at 9 am to see if they have our ballots. At least the guy I talked to here was nice. He said he'd keep an eye out for it. But we are delaying our "vacation" to Baltimore just to fill out our ballots.
That's how important this election is to me. You should have seen me in a huff about it when I got home this morning! It made me realize that I can't take my right for granted. I want my vote to count, if only to illustrate to my kids in 15 years that it's important for them to vote, too.
