If you’re a Florida voter, chances are you have something in common with this man, you’re old and confused. Coincidentally, this man is also on the republican ballot and you can vote for him. He holds some belief about going back to the olden’ days where people traded in gold rather than deflated US dollars.

Anyways, both the democrats and republicans are holding primaries in Florida on January 29th. But if that date doesn’t suit you, you should consider voting early, which is what I did.

As long as you’re in the county you are registered to vote in, you can swing by the public library with your driver’s license and they’ll give you your respective ballot. This was my first time doing the early voting thing (aside from casting an absentee ballot from overseas once) and I must say I was pleased with the process, especially with it being Florida and all.

I much preferred voting in the library to voting at the precinct on Election Day. First off, if you’re serious about voting, who knows what might happen on Election Day. What if your house burns down or you get kidnapped? Chances are you won’t get to vote and that’s a bummer. Then again, if you die before the election date, should your vote really count anyways? That’s some food for thought but beside the point.

Secondly, if voter turnout is high on January 29th, you may have to wait a decent bit at your precinct. That could mean missing out on the bus to Suncruz Casino. But with early voting the process is at your leisure and chances are you won’t have to wait (I didn’t). So get out there and do some early voting this weekend!
