    Don’t Forget to Vote Today

    August 19, 2:01 PM
     
     
    As I write this, there’s still six hours left to vote for the primaries in the State of Washington today. Most people would deem this as a waste of time, but keep in mind that just because someone is out campaigning, doesn’t necessarily mean that they will be listed in the ballot for the general election, not to mention that if there are initiatives that you want to support/kill, now’s the time to do it.
     
    Don’t be a jerk and vote. (MTV should use that as their new voting slogan and pay me money to use it).
     

    For more info: Go find where your county's district polls are at the official State of Washington website.
