And we answered.
After going to Victoria's now-weekly midwife check-up, we swung by the one stop early voting site not five minutes up the road from our house. We were pleasantly surprised that there weren't too many annoying campaigners harrassing us as we walked in and there was no waiting in line to vote! The biggest surprise, however, came when I was able to convince the election official to give us three ballots instead of two.
One for me. One for Victoria. And one for baby.
At first the official was hesitant, but then I reassured her I was a law student and very familiar with Chapter 163 of the NC General Statutes which governs early absentee voting and clearly gives the right to vote to full term foetuses. With our three ballots we were able to spread our family vote around to three different presidential contenders: Obama, McCain, and my favorite write-in candidate, Ronillary Edbamabee.
Unfortunately, I was less successful in arguing for a separate "I Voted Today" sticker for baby as we were exiting the polling place. Oh well... maybe next year?
