#TellYourStory | When did you find a difficult to get to the polls to vote?
I couldn't help but notice how many swellcasters are posting about the upcoming vote. And it is a season of thinking about how we're going to vote and who we're going to vote for. But I want to talk about where you're going to vote, and I want to talk about how you get there. I'm giving you a link to Politico, their front page of their voting election coverage

You. Thank you so much for posting this. This is of the utmost importance at this time. We are all gearing up for election. You know, the election that's coming up. And in that election, we need to be prepared mentally. We need to be prepared mentally by researching the candidates that we're going to be looking at to vote for. And not just that, but like you said, where are we going to vote? Where do we go?
But when I just sat back there and thought about everything that my people had done just for us to have the right to vote, I felt like I did not have the luxury to just go home. And as I have a busy life, single mom, having kids who go to different schools, so I'm having to go and pick them up from their different schools, make sure that they're taken care of

This feels so outrageous and you had the presence of mind to actually stick it out and cast your vote. But the hundreds and thousands of people who probably are discouraged and it's not a day you can take off of work. It's not a national holiday. It should be. It's so rigged. It feels so unfair to me. I'm just so appreciative of you sharing this and being who you are
