November 8th, is Voting Day 2022. The America public voted on key initiatives and issues, plus candidates running for political office.
Now, tonight is election night when the ballots are counted and the results are posted and televised.
If you are unhappy with the way things are going, then this is your chance to change things.
Why is Voting Important?
Voting is important because it gives a person a voice and allows them to participate in elections. Your voice will be heard in your community, state or country by your ballot.
It is your right and also a great American freedom.
Patriotic Deuce
I received this photograph of Deuce wearing a red, white and blue bandanna reminding people to vote today.
Deuce seems to be smiling for the camera.
What is Poll Sitting?
Interesting enough, I know a person who was poll sitting this week.
Poll sitting, a non-paid position in our state, which allows a person to watch and observe what is happening in local polling places.
They make sure voters cast ballots and guard against any improprieties to avoid election fraud. Poll Sitting actually promotes transparency in the voting place.
Poll sitters are not allow to intimidate voters and don’t approach them and, of course, are given a chair to sit in during their time at the polls. They are, also, given a clear view of everything that is happening right in front of the voting stations.
If they notice anything that doesn’t seem right, they can then report it. They also report any irregularities in the place they are poll sitting.
Ending Notes on Voting Day 2022
I’m presently watching television to see how the elections are going.
In Farmhouse Magic Blog, we usually do not report on politics but today I’m making an exception.
A Big Thank You to Deuce’s owners for allowing me to post this photograph of cute Patriotic Deuce.
Red, White and Blue Deuce!
