Nine hundred and forty five days and we have lost our country. Our rights, our children’s futures, our electoral system, our allies, our credibility, our honor, our health, our social safety nets, our position of trust as a world partner seeking peace, our clean air, water and food, our national park system, the protection of our wilderness, our chance for clean energy, our freedom from gun violence, our system of justice, our cybersecurity, our privacy, our public education system, and other losses too numerous to mention have all been ripped from us by this president and his enablers in Congress.

Prior to the primary election, my husband and I participated in one of the multiple, well-publicized voting system practice sessions offered by Montgomery County. If a person has ever taken a questionnaire or test that requires filling in the bubbles, that’s how easy completing the new paper ballot was. Then we each took our paper ballot and fed it into a scanner, which was just like putting a dollar bill into a Coke machine. Who hasn’t done these things?
