(#6438) 47 days until the election

      Minnesota and South Carolina begin their early voting today with Vermont and Virginia beginning theirs tomorrow. This is really getting exciting for those of us who want to see a correction to the debacle that was our 2024 election. Early overseas ballots and some ballots in Pennsylvania are already out there for filling out and returning and they are all important. Just as important are the next round of ballots that are scheduled to be sent out. Our states are finally at the threshold of mailing ballots out to our citizenry in processes designed by each individual state. Some call it mail in balloting and others call it absentee mail in balloting. But regardless the state wide ballots are ready and will start to go out today.
     There is also an in person voting element that will be starting today in South Dakota. We are here folks. Ballots available and voting in person starting tomorrow. Many of us will have to wait a bit longer toward the traditional election day of the first Tuesday of the month, November 3rd, but most of us will have our first option of voting early somewhere between then and now. I am an early voter since around 2000. I don't like the standing in line process since the traditional election day is somehow not a holiday as it should be so mail in voting has been my choice for well over 2 decades. For those of us who work, the idea of standing in line an inordinate amount of time to cast a vote is not efficient. Most of us cannot afford to miss work for any reason, even health concerns, such is the state of our nation.
     However we can change the state of our nation by all of us getting a plan individually to vote. We all have to participate regardless the inconvenience that may follow. Having pride in our constitution and it's duties is as American as we can be so no one can tell any of us that our voting is a detriment in any way! If what I hope will happen and we voting citizens turn out in droves then the nature of our current government administration will have a check on it that will not allow it to continue to harm us for the sake of an ego maniac who has no decency nor noble respect attached to his character. Neither will there be his underlings in power to help him. We the people will be the power and the direction of our nation will change to a level that stabilizes our futures with a greater promise toward being honorable.
