I Early Voted In Florida today for Biden/Harris!!!

I had to work harder this to vote than I ever have in my life!

I moved back to Florida last summer, got employed, and started just living life. I knew how bad Trump was from the beginning, I’m a lifelong Democrat and have voted in every Presidential Election since I turned 18. I have voted for winners and losers but never have I been scared into voting like my life depends on it (it does) until this year.

Then the pandemic hit in Feb/March......

I realized that I now had an expired out of state ID and the DMV was shutdown along with the rest of the country. So I made a plan to make sure I could vote.

First step was making sure my residency was up to date. It wasn’t, even after two separate trips to the Post Office, it was like I was a non-entity. I finally got that squared and of course I registered to vote when I did the moving paperwork....except that for some reason I wasn’t registered when I checked. So I did it again online on the official website. Again, couldn’t find that I was registered and had no card. Finally I went down to the Supervisor of Elections and physically, in front of them filled out my registration. I FINALLY got my voter registration 2 weeks before the election.

The last piece was making sure that I had a valid Florida license so that there would be no mistake who I am and that I am a citizen of Florida. I made my first appointment with the DMV in August for September (that’s how long the wait is) and me being slightly distracted by the shitshow that is 2020, showed up three days late, because I’m an idiot......so I made a second appointment for the second to last week of Oct. There would be no more redos if I missed this one, but I didn’t and got my Fl DL (pic ID) so that there would be no issues when I voted!!

Finally, today!!! I drove to the Library by my house, showed my brand new ID, didn’t wait at all and filled out by ballot for straight Dems all the way!!!

In fact I saved my last bubble for President.... I sat there for a moment and thought about all the horrible things this administration has done, and I thought about what the future could be with a Biden/Harris Administration, and I smiled ear to ear as I voted for the future!!!!!

That’s my American Voting Story.
