In Milwaukee County there were two candidates for sheriff, Clarke, Jr. the republican who runs as a Democrat to get the minority vote, and Angie Walker (no relation) who is running on the Draft Bernie Sanders for President party. I voted for her.
PS: The voting ladies liked my patriotic tie, especially when they found out it was a Jerry Garcia tie.

The course has lots of notes, audios/videos, links to lectures, apps and documents. It should keep me busy through the winter.

(3,208 posts)I almost thought I shouldn't and should just go for plain, but then I figured, i wear it everywhere else, why not!
And yeah, they probably knew my political leanings!
Didn't have any buttons, but I did have my grandsons with me, so they can learn civic duty is important, even in the pouring rain!!!!!

My guess is the Bears are probably already looking for who'll be coaching the spring mini-camps.
