Yeah, me too. It always makes me really happy to participate in the process. I really don't get people who don't make the effort to vote. It was a little weird having a neighbor who I know is ultra-conservative hand me my ballot and call out that I am a registered Democrat. I honestly felt a little creeped out about it, even though he was all smiles. But luckily there was a grinning Dem (I presume) down at the other end of the table who made me feel very welcome.
Just that little bit of discomfort made me have even MORE respect for those who go into hostile polling places. What heroes.

Every time I vote I think about all the people around the world who still don't get the chance to fairly cast a ballot!
