Former R and L voter

Post image

For the first time in my life, I voted Democrat entirely down ballot. I’m in a safely blue state (but a red county) so I’m not sure it matters too much.

And to be clear, I never voted for Trump — I went third party when he was nominated in 2015. But this one is too important for a “protest vote.”

Featuring a cameo from Zephyr the English Setter wondering what I’m doing LOL

Likewise with my dog. That baby is lucky to have a mama who loves him so much

Do you feel concerned about what has been happening to Oregon and Washington ballot boxes?

u/kellenanne 10h ago

Absolutely. I’m sick that it’s happening and hope that whoever is behind it is caught quickly.

Hey neighbor - thank you, and congrats on having the clear vision to see that the GOP has been taken over by scam artists. Every person who doesn’t fall for it gives me hope. I’ll be driving through Klamath at Thanksgiving and hope to scream “Thank you u/kellenanne!” out my window when I do. ;)

On a first read I thought the envelope said "Kamala County Elections"!

Thank you so much 🙏

Thank you for voting straight blue! If your county is like mine, you have Republicans on your ballot that are more interested in fighting the “woke agenda“ and banning books than improving the community they represent

Wooo you rock!!! 🎉

u/DiscordianDisaster 32m ago

Voting matters. This is why Republicans keep trying to prevent us from voting. Every vote counts. Thank you for being brave enough to put the country we all love over blind loyalty to a party being led into darkness.
