Vetting a Vote
For a moment or two I feared that I might not be allowed to vote today. The appearance of a wild-haired, sweat-drenched, relatively young voter clearly alarmed the volunteer election staff in the previously sleepy church basement. The calming presence of a retired pastor who recognized me as a regular voter cleared the way for me to cast a ballot against my least favorite local politician.

I was the youngest person at my polling location by a good 30 years.

Amazingly, I was not the youngest this time. Three 20-something moms with kids in tow were ahead of me in line. Not jogger with fancy stroller, got a lot of time on my hands moms... but working class, just got off my shift at the nursing home, now I gotta drop the kids off and head to my waitressing gig moms. I'm glad they found voting important enough to sandwich it into their day.

So...you're a registered Republican, eh? Thanks for voting for Howe and sending Kline his pink slip.

Hey....when you live in Johnson Co.
a RINO is the only way to be. How else can we better the world and dismiss Kline?

As Miles Ahead suggests, the real action in JoCo takes place in the primary elections.
Registering as a Democrat or as an independent in Johnson County would be akin to a vegetarian renting space above an Arthur Bryant's restaurant- pointless, frustrating and useless.
It's all golden oldies where I vote, too, AJ. Thanks for the encouraging report, RG.

HIB, et al
Yes I do know about why people in JoCo that might be closet liberals register as Republicans. Good strategy.
