I voted

Now, it’s very pre­dictable given my last post, but I was the 59^th voter in Precinct 5 of Ward 9 in the city of Min­neapo­lis today.

I want to reit­er­ate that you should get out there and vote and get out the vote (i.e. friends don’t let friends not vote).

There are some impor­tant issues and can­di­da­cies on the table today, whether it’s LGBT equal­ity in places like Wash­ing­ton state or Maine, whether to elim­i­nate the Min­neapo­lis Board of Esti­mate and Tax­a­tion, whether to pre­serve the cur­rent fund­ing lev­els of the Anoka-Hennepin Inde­pen­dent School Dis­trict No. 11, whether Saint Paul should join Min­neapo­lis in using ranked choice, or instant runoff, vot­ing in munic­i­pal elec­tions.… I could go on and on.

Get out there and exer­cise your power!

If anyone’s really excited about elec­tion day, you might find me at the Min­neapo­lis DFL vic­tory party at the Graves 601 Hotel down­town. ;)
