WE VOTED BY MAIL TODAY. MY BELOVED’S ABSENTEE BALLOT ARRIVED IN YESTERDAY’S POST, AND AS OF NOW BOTH ARE ON THEIR WAY TO BE COUNTED. THIS BALLOT CONCERNS MISSOURI’S PRIMARY ELECTION OF AUGUST 4. WE ALSO INTEND TO VOTE BY MAIL IN OCTOBER, IN ANTICIPATION OF THE NOVEMBER ELECTION. WHILE WE SUPPORT PROTESTS, WE CO NOT CONSIDER THEM A SUBSTITUTE FOR VOTING. PLEASE, IF YOU ARE PROTESTING, KNOW THAT WE WOULD BE WITH YOU IF WE COULD. BUT PLEASE DON’T FAIL TO VOTE. OUR PRESENT CRIMINAL REGIME WANTS YOU TO NOT TO VOTE.
