We love election day! What a day of energy!
Derek and I voted last week, because we didn't want to be caught in a situation where sickness or work would prevent us from voting.
Here's a quick snapshot of our assistants before we went in to vote:
Today we held an election during school. Each family member got one vote. The babies' votes counted just as strongly as everyone else's--because a vote is a vote regardless of whether a citizen is informed or not.
This drove Cherish crazy!!! She kept saying is wasn't fair that the ones who didn't understand could vote and count just like the ones who completely understood what was going on.
Welcome to America.
So, we had three Presidential Candidates from which to choose:
Hillary Clinton
Donald Trump
Donald Duck
Derek, who is working a 16-hour shift, cast his vote via Absentee Ballot (i.e. text message). The children and I took turns behind a partition to secretly vote.
Cherish:
Hope:
Andrew:
Daniel:
Samuel:
The family (i.e. the "State") has a declared winner, and now we will see if our "State" will have its nominee win the presidential election.
By the way, it turns out Donald Duck got two votes! One of those votes came from Hope, who says she believes he would make a fun president. J
The babies' votes were counted by what name they colored on. It was perfectly legal. *wink*
So, the three oldest and I have been watching the elections on TV, and the children have been sitting on the edge of their seats. Actually, Cherish has been bouncing up and down from nerves.
What a race! Right now it is so close.
Strangely enough, this day has turned out to be enjoyable. We have done our part (voting and praying), and now we watch and see what will happen.
God is completely sovereign. In that is my confidence and peace.
So, on to watching how Florida will vote....
