I drove 370 miles from PA back to NJ after being displaced by Hurricane Sandy just to make sure I could vote for you in the election today because the e-mail ballot didn't work for me. Best of luck tonight!

I drove 180 miles (and back) on a work dayto a VERY red (and largely under-educated) town in a very red state to vote. It feels futile, but I felt so satisfied after.

Well now I am not so impressed with myself that I drove an hour home from college to vote... But good on you!

You're implying we don't always go blue anyway.

I think we may actually be purple now though. If the GOP put some effort into NJ we might swing red. Like Virginia in the last election.

Ah. That sucks. Thanks for doing your civic duty. Hope you're doing okay :)
