You better believe early voting is important

How important is early voting? Ask my dear friend Oscar. It was back in the first few days of June that Oscar received word from Puerto Rico that his mother was dying. He made arrangements to fly to Puerto Rico with his wife immediately.

Both are staunch Scott Walker supporters. They were prepared to walk through fire on June 5 to vote for the Governor in his recall, but couldn’t. They had no time.

My friend tells me an amazing story. Wherever he went in Puerto Rico, crowds in front of television sets tuned to American election coverage cheered wildly with every election return showing Walker ahead.

It was bittersweet for Oscar. His mother had died, and he never got to vote for a man he believes in so much.



 
 

 

 
   

 

 

Early voting has officially begun in Wisconsin. If you think you won't be able to make it to the polls on Election Day, or simply want to vote before November 6, be sure to vote early.
