Even if you don’t live in a swing state, your vote still counts. Someone will actually count it! If you’d like, you can even write-in Anna Wintour for President, but I’d advise against it because she’s not a natural born citizen and would never be sworn into office — and anyway, she’s way better suited to a civil court judgeship or something like that.
I think I would be totally remiss if I didn’t mention that most polling places are set up in public schools. If you had the great luxury of attending one as a child, your voting experience will be super Proustian. I learned that the essence of my past smells like bleached tile floors and school lunch pizza.
Anyway, whether you go out of a sense of obligation, to make your voice heard, or because you want go on a memory trip, just VOTE today, please. And scatch what I said in the headline: polling places are crawling with people. If you aren’t going to look cute, you might as well stay home.
