Upcoming election

It is hard to type with one arm holding a "baby" and using a few fingers to hit keys. My cat, Morris, is curled up like a baby and purring away.

I have never liked the idea of early voting for any election process. I find it unnecessarily accommodating to lazy citizens. (Morris just jumped down after the wife came through the door. Ah, to use two hands to type again!) If you know that you are going to be absent from the area on election day, then get an absentee ballot. If you can not make the time to vote, then you don't deserve to do so.

Early elections open things up to increased possibility of fraud as well as remove being very responsible with the act of voting. It also allows for those who would not normally bother to vote because of "inconvenience" to be able to cast a ballot. People with that sort of mindset don't deserve to vote.

Voter Registration Deadline Friday - If you haven’t registered to vote, the deadline to register for the May primary is this Friday, April 7. Starting next week, April 13, one-stop early voting begins for the primary elections. Johnston County Board of Elections Director Teresa Davis said early voting will take place Monday through Friday from 8am until 5pm and on Saturday, April 22nd and 29th from 9am until 1pm.
