Semi-OT: Got my official "poll watcher" certificate; would not have done this before

I received my official "certificate of appointment of observer" in an email today. I am very excited. I have never done this before, but I will be observing and using a smartphone app to mark off everyone who has voted at my assigned precinct. (It also gives me a way to immediately contact the party's legal team in the unlikely even that there are any problems at the polling place.)

It might sound silly, but this is something I never would have done when I was SMO. In fact, one of the LAST things I would have wanted to do was something where I would potentially be seen by a large number of people.

Regardless of the presidential candidate you support (please don't turn this into a debate thread), if you are registered to vote, get out there and do it (if you have not already done so)!

I agree - get out and vote. It is so important!

Iowa has early voting, and I have already voted. This election could be a real nail-biter.

Sounds like a neat opportunity! I love watching people, not so sure about people watching me. I agree...vote!

Congrats Lora!!! (Notice that I am using something but my normal Comic Sans font that you have trouble with ) It is amazing that after years of being 'normal' that we can still have these WOW moments!

I am going to register to vote in my new town today, and I will vote tomorrow!

In WA state you can vote in person or by mail in ballot. I mailed my ballot in last week. Great job on being appointed observer!

I am looking forward to getting less mail from everyone running for office. It clogs my mail box too much.
