Election Day: Feel the Pressure?

Election day was today. I'm sure all of you have been bugged by automated telephone calls to vote for senate and vote yes/no/maybe for Measure 11 or 34. And you wonder why Senator John Thune is calling your business bumping up the ante for Kristi Noem.

Relax. Yeah, some of these are big decisions but its not going to do you good to rush through Election day and then feel slightly razzled afterward wondering what in the world you just did. Its normal to get that slight tingling sensation after you deposit that scary looking bubble ballot. Reminds you of those "scantron" days in High School where you would just doodle in your answers and pray you got it right, doesn't it?

Don't feel pressured by government figure heads and idols. If you aren't sure what you want to vote for, don't vote. If you feel the need to vote, refer back to lazy conversations in elevators or during lunch and recall what everyone else said they were voting for - and then do the opposite just to be different (especially if it makes you feel better)

Best Regards,
