Benton Crane

I voted yesterday. I was nervous there might be things on the ballot that I didn’t know anything about. Fortunately, the only thing on the ballot is the presidential primary.

I was glad I went early for three reasons:

1. There was absolutely no line!
2. I recently moved and had to fill out a change of address form and show proof of my new address. Apparently you can’t make that change on election day.
3. I wasn’t affiliated with any party so in order to vote for Ron Paul* I had to affiliate myself with the Republican party. I guess you can’t do that on election day either.

So if you haven’t voted yet, go! All you need is your driver’s license and a few minutes (if you’ve moved since you registered to vote you will also need a piece of mail with your name and address). For those of you here in Utah County, go to the county building in Provo (Center Street and 100 E.) between 8am and 5pm. Or you can also go to the American Fork Library between 3 and 7pm. You have until Friday February 1st for early voting.

* I chose Ron Paul because ALL of his platforms are based on very simple and true principles: personal liberty and limited government. If you haven’t taken 15 minutes to listen to one of his interviews or read an article, please do. Here is a good article. You will be shocked to find a politician that makes perfect sense and is 100% unapologetic about standing for what’s right.
