It is your right as an American to register and to vote! NOVEMBER 5!!

Here are statistics from last Presidential Election according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voter_turnout_in_United_States_presidential_elections

In 202o 158,481,688 turned out to vote.

The voting age population was 252,274,000.

The voting eligible population was 240,628,443.

Registered voters numbered 163,308,000.

Turnout for the voting age population was 62.8%.

The voting eligible population was 65.9%.

There are nations in the world where people risk their lives to place their vote. Not so, America. I am always amazed that so few registered. Of the eligible, millions stayed home. What?!? I have never been a statistics person, or even a numbers person, but these numbers leave me flabbergasted, (to be overcome with astonishment).

Please, vote. It is not only your right, but your privilege, too. The election workers in Ohio put in a very long, hard day to sign you in, get you to the right precinct, give you your ballot and make certain it is counted. The least you could do is to actually show up at the polls! Please.

I am delighted that this election cycle is almost at an end. The TV ads are mostly discouraging and I cannot wait for them to end. May God lead us in our selection from among the candidates in every office in every state.

I am giving you this link (previously posted) to a prayer from Joan Chittister for our election of leaders. https://wordpress.com/post/treasures-in-plain-sight.org/17711
