I voted yesterday. And I was sorely tempted to go against my convictions.
I don’t vote in national elections. (I explain some of that in my “Voting” post)
But the race seems somewhat tight in Texas, and there’s one of the candidates that I really don’t want to see win. As I said in the post “Come Out From Among Them And Be Separate,” I don’t see a benefit in voting AGAINST a candidate. Your vote still counts as a FOR vote for the one you chose.
As I was going to vote, I couldn’t help but think that no one would know if I voted or who I voted for. I didn’t really have to go by the things that I say I believe.
Fortunately, conviction won out.
Conviction is a pesky thing.
