my civic duty

I sent in my absentee ballot today. I even took photos for the NYTimes Polling Place Photo Project. (Thanks to Melissa for posting the idea) I know every vote counts (or is supposed to), but when the packet tells you the vote must be received within 10 days of election day it makes you wonder. So I wanted to send mine in so it got there for election day. Otherwise it only goes towards part of the "official" count. At least if it gets there on election day I feel like I had a chance at making a difference. Absentees count!
