Well, it all comes down to tomorrow. Tomorrow, America decides between McCain, who has an idiot for a running mate, and Obama, whose lack of experience on the international scene is appallingly apparent. The outcome of this election is not the concern of my post however.
What concerns me is how adamant some people are about knowing for whom someone is voting. That choice is a personal matter, and in my opinion, should not be sought after by someone else. Doing so is an intrusion of privacy. Also, the people who seek that knowledge generally want to make sure that everyone is voting for their candidate and influence them if they are not. Apparently, everyone has forgotten that before the 1880s America didn't have the secret ballot voting method that we are so accustomed to today.
This method of voting is just as important as the vote itself. Without it, many people would be influenced at the polls, however, isn't it just as important to hinder external influences prior to going to the polls? Everyone should relax, and stop trying to influence other people to vote for their candidates.
