Cancelled out

So I get home last night, and there's a message on my machine informing me that the phone call earlier in the day was accidental, and that my vote has been cancelled out (he had just voted absentee). Strictly speaking this isn't true since we live in different states and the national popular vote doesn't matter, but I got the point. Plus, here in Georgia my vote's probably going to get "cancelled out" by any number of ill-educated rednecks. Technicalities aside, however, I'm still disappointed. You know, you try to do right by your family and teach them good American values, but sometimes they go and do these foolish things anyway. I guess I should realize that I can only do so much, and sometimes people have to make their own decisions, misguided though they may be. Besides, Mom & Dad have been canceling each other's votes for years. Posted by Jason at October 13, 2004 01:03 PM
