Tomorrow I am going to Pennsylvania, with Lily and another family, to register voters in a swing county in this swing state.
Although I know there are voters who are not physically able to get to the polls, or are kept away from the polls in various ways for political reasons, I believe that if you are well and able, and you do not vote, you should not have the privilege of being a United States citizen. I do not think this is a strong statement. I think it is eminently reasonable. I would like to do my part to convince people that voting is a base expectation, not a choice.
That's all for tonight. I have a had a very busy week. But I will be writing a real piece after my experience tomorrow, that is for sure.
