The May Firm

Tomorrow is Voting Day. Some call it Election Day, but I see it a little differently. Tomorrow is our day to VOTE. The election of someone to a publicly paid-for job is a natural byproduct of our decision to Vote. Women and minorities should be particularly interested in voting, as many people worked very hard and sacrificed much to give us the right to vote. Women were only granted the right to vote by the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution in 1920 — that’s only 88 years that we’ve been given the right to cast a ballot. Not that men should take it any less seriously just because they’ve always had the right to vote.

Voting can have an impact on everyone who has a need to have a legal matter resolved through the court system. When two married people decide to get a divorce, unless they can agree on their disputes, a judge will make decisions that affect their lives and the lives of their children. That judge is elected by people who vote!

So, tomorrow, please remember to exercise your right to vote. You have the right to choose which political party you stand with and which of the contested races to vote in, but regardless, educate yourself on the races and go vote.
