Election day approaches!

Hello boys & girls!

Just wanted to let you know that I miss meeting with you this week but I think it is great that your schools have decided to close for election day. Thanks to unprecedented turnout for Georgia’s advance voting, 2 million people won’t have to go to the polls on Election Day. Wow!

You may have seen some of the long lines of people taking advantage of the early voting. Thirty-one states offer this option and it seems that people are really taking advantage of this option. Voting is good!

As I listened to the news this morning I learned about some interesting polling locations. New Jersey and Nevada offer voting at mall locations. California has drive-through voting. In Georgia you can get a flu shot and vote at the same place. I'm all for anything that makes it easier for citizens to vote. Don't you agree?

This is an important day for our nation. Soon we will know who our new President will be!

I hope you enjoy your day off and I look forward to seeing you again next week!
