My Son Voted for the First Time Today
My son (19) voted in his first general election today.
He didn't register to vote in time to receive a mail-in ballot, (Utah is still a vote-by-mail state, at least until 2029 as the current laws stand,) so he voted in-person after work this evening.
He waited in line for 90 minutes and registered to vote right there at the polling place.
He arrived home in good spirits. “I figured I don't have much right to complain about the state of things if I don't exercise my right to vote,” he said.
Proud father, here.
I've not left the house today, but I wore my “I Voted” sticker all day, anyway.
I'm grateful for the right to vote.
