We all know people that would vote the correct way (blue) if they voted in the midterms.
But they dont follow politics as closely as we do.
So they dont necessarily show up and vote in the midterms if they get busy or forget.
I have such a friend.
And I have told him that I will pick him up after he gets off from work Tuesday and I will take him out for dinner, or a movie, or for drinks at his favorite bar.
The one catch is that we drop by his polling place first.
If theres a long line, I will stay in line with him until he reaches the front and then meet him again outside after he votes.
He has agreed to this plan.
So, yay!, Im getting us one more vote.
If anyone reading this likes this idea, please do the same thing.
Heres hoping for a blue Tue!

I do not expect an armed overweight Rambo Wannabe guarding your mailbox from a nearby lawn chair.
Oregon ballots are mailed postage-free, and will be counted if postmarked on or before Election Day.
