Something happened to me today that has never happened to me before. As I was standing in line to get my ballot, a sudden realization struck me–I still hadn’t decided who I would be casting my ballot for. I got very nervous; my heart leapt into my throat. I took my ballot to the booth and I stared at it like I was from another planet, not knowing what to do next. Their names burned on the page. I took a deep breath and closed by eyes, searching my heart. I strained to hear a single name, rising above the cacophony of internalized political adverts and talking heads, the answer to my question. I looked again at the ballot and my eye was drawn to a name. I sighed, relieved, and bent over the page with my pen to fill in the oval and cast my vote. But then I was overcome by another moment of indecision. If I’d had a coin I would have flipped it.
Did you vote today? Was your decision easy or difficult?

Hey thanks for the shout out! Glad you voted. Someone’s gotta.
Good job! Why all the indecision? It seems like lots of people are suffering from that in this primary. I on the other hand have not had the problem of “too many choices” Go figure. BTW, Obama won our county caucus big time, about 85%. I knew he was doing well but that just blows my away. Hillary just barely got the minimum 15% here. And last night was a fire marshals nightmare at our caucus. The turnout was remarkable, thousands showed up instead of the few hundred that usually do here and 2/3 or more were young voters. These college kids have really been working the system for Obama. And that is refreshing and encouraging to me–our current Administration has really done us a great service and cured voter apathy!
I didn’t register for a party so I didn’t vote in the primary. Is CT one of the states where you don’t have to register to vote in a primary? Do you get to vote in both primaries then? That would be weird.
