I Voted

Someone last year said that it seemed to her that we are constantly holding elections in the United States. It's true. We do have a lot of elections. There will be even more this year because of the number of primaries, caucuses, races for House and Senate seats, as well as, of course, for president. Today I voted in Virginia's presidential primary.
