Election Day Privilege

I'll be voting today.
I don't expect any long lines in my small rural community.
And, in spite of being a half Asian Democrat in a nearly all white and deeply red community, I expect no trouble nor obstruction when casting my ballot. To most people, I'm just another old, white guy.

In a recent conversation with someone that is very concerned about the outcome of today's election, I made the comment that regardless of the outcome, tomorrow will find me sitting on my deck, smoking a cigar, sipping some bourbon and listening to music.
This morning of election day I am realizing just how privileged I am to be able to be so unconcerned about the elestion results.

Vote.

John
