Some election day rumination

I'm cliffing my statements from jwer's blog, but it's probably worth mention and theft here:

I voted early, courtesy of the Soldiers and Sailors' Civil Relief Act of 1940.

In a universe where I swore I would never vote while on active duty, it was with a sense of foreboding that I sent my ballot in the mail two weeks ago.

It is doubly fitting that I voted for the first time in what is a battleground state.

I voted my conscience and it is clear. I have no regrets.
