I went to
the polls this morning at 6:00 a.m. sharp. You should make it part of your plan
today, unless you voted early.
If you are
sick, you have an excuse….otherwise….you need to vote in today’s Illinois
primary. That’s not just my opinion, it is the opinion expressed by the Wayne
County Health Department Administrator Clark Griffith. I talked to him
yesterday. He was crystal clear. We do not yet have one case of the coronavirus
in Wayne County, or any surrounding county. County election officials say the
voting machines will be continually wiped down throughout the day.
When you
arrive, you will get choices. There are interesting races in both parties. On
the Democratic side, one of the choices is for president and stakes are high.
On the GOP side, there are plenty of interesting races for state rep, senate,
congress and the judiciary.
Look, I’m
being very careful about what I say concerning the pandemic. I have not chosen
to second guess either the president or the governor on their emergency
declarations. There are smarter people in government privy to more information
than yours truly. Everybody has an opinion. I’ve heard a boatload of
bellyaching over the last few days. You don’t like the way things are going?

Nathan said it best when he said….
“Bad
officials are elected by good citizens who do not vote.”
