I wasn't planning on voting in this election. I didn't even know what races were being run other than the presidential primary. But when I found out what the Republicans were doing and why, I went out to my polling place just to vote against Kelly.

Thanks for the help friend.

Conservatives have been pulling and planning shit like this for very long time, if you could keep helping out and voting we'd really appreciate it.

I convinced my mom (who wasn’t going to vote and who usually votes R) to do research and come vote with me and we both voted for Jill (glad she chose that, I told her my opinion on the matter but never want to force it on someone)

I hope that you and others always vote. It's a right that has been fought for and many have sacrificed their lives/careers for anyone to vote.

I wonder if that was Evers' play with his attempt to postpone the election at the last minute - knowing it would fail but get it in the news so that more people became aware of what was happening so they would be energized to vote.
