6am November 4th 2008

Passing PS89 this morning there was already a gathering of a few voters getting in their early morning ballots.

Having been pretty quite the last few weeks on LoMa for a variety of reasons, some of which included a crescendoing additions to campaign coverage, I'm excited. I'm very excited. Today will likely be one of the most (if not THE most) historic election of my lifetime.

Taking a moment to hearken back to a previous famous election I read this 1860 post from The Atlantic. It references a hole bunch of details that have faded through history, but the key points you get. As a little motivation for folks laking the energy to vote...

"The theory of democracy presupposes something of these results of official position in the individual voter, since in exercising his right he becomes for the moment an integral part of the governing power."


A vote like today only comes around once. Vote.
