Why is it that people plan months and years to take that dream vacation? The same holds true when buying a home, a car, planning a wedding or purchasing that must-see theater ticket.

Can it be so difficult to plan at least two days ahead to register to vote?

I certainly don’t feel that it is.

It is a privilege, in this free country, to cast a ballot on Election Day. If it means fewer voters at the polls on Election Day, then so be it.

Let the true love-my-country votes be the ones counted. I am proud to have that privilege. I am proud to be an American.
