Go Vote!

Today is election day...go do your civic duty and vote...for whoever, or whatever. Doesn't matter, just vote.

My state of Louisiana apparently is participating. I hope we meet or exceed official's expectations. So far long lines are being reported all over, but rain, which I suddenly hear coming down, could effect that turnout.

Louisiana residents head to the polls today to make choices ranging from who should lead the nation to whether they need a constitutional right to hunt and fish. Election monitors will staff many precincts to make sure voting goes right and everyone who is eligible gets to vote.

Seventy-five percent of the state's 2.9 million voters are expected to go to the polls, which open at 6 a.m. and close at 8 p.m. Those in line at 8 p.m. will still be allowed to vote.
