Voted! - Just voted in my first ever Indiana Democratic Party primary election (https://www.in.gov/sos/elections/). I did my research on the two candidates for Representative, and honestly I liked them both. I chose the one that I felt would better represent me. Then I discovered a second page on the ballot with 60+ names for State Convention Delegate at Large, with instructions to vote for no more than 41. Whaaaaaat. So I spent some time googling. For most of them, I couldn’t find anything at all about who they were or why they were running. People, how are we supposed to know who the hell you are?! In the end I found info on about six of them, and I decided to reward their basic digital literacy with my votes. As always, thank you to the Elkhart County Voter Registration board and election officials for providing me with a way to participate in the democratic process. (And SUCK IT to the Republicans pushing the SAVE Act (https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2026/04/25/did-the-save-act-pass-what-is-save-america-act-status-senate-vote-results-voter-id-bill-update/89792575007/), which they know will disenfranchise millions of women and overseas voters like me.) https://www.web-goddess.org/archive/93846
