This morning my wife and I were running a little late. Our voting place is 5 miles from our home which is 30 miles from the office. I couldn't locate my voter registration, and told myself since we were late that I would try to come back later and vote. In Texas you can vote with an alternate ID like your driver's license.  So that was the plan....even though it would mean another 60 mile round trip that I would do it anyway.

Now mind you on today's ballot in our county, there were no candidates, only amendments to the Texas Constitution, eleven to be exact. Now ....most folks don't get fired up about amendments when it comes to voting, at least as much as they do about candidates, including yours truly, but I made up my  mind to do it.

So at lunch a jumped in the truck and headed to the polls only to realize I did not have my driver's license with me either. Rats!  That would add an other 10 miles to the trip. That was it I just wouldn't vote. 

Then this little voice started saying...." Chicken"   Go vote! 

So I drove home got my license went to the polls and voted. It looked like only 58 people had voted at the station halfway through the day . I hope my extra 70 miles was worth  it for constitutional amendments.

Then I thought "What if?"    What if that one vote makes the difference?  

It could.
