It's a big vote - take a picture

Next Tuesday, all of us Californians get to say who we want the next leader of the free world to be. With some very decent candidates to choose from (on the Dems side), and a lot at stake - the polling places should see a record turnout.

So, why not take a picture? Voting in America is an interesting, inspiring, and often super confusing process. Thanks to my friend David Cohn (aka 'digidave') I've learned of a cool nationwide project to document the voting process: http://pollingplaces.nytimes.com/

It's simple enough - take a photo of your polling place. For example, I have to vote inside a church. How crazy is that - I always thought state and church were separate. I personally think that a lot need's to be changed about the voting process. Hopefully, with the help of the New York Times, this project can shed some light on what changes need to be made.

Also, register to vote. There is no excuse - I will think less of you if you don't vote in this presidential election (although, the general election is more important).
