election day
Though the wife is voting against Prop 2 (I can’t vote, but I’m forcing my non-voting sister to go in my stead) tomorrow, I’m still expecting it will pass. Though I haven’t seen any polls, I think it will probably go through 65–35%.
Between prop 2 and the state education “reform,” I decided to be a solid Democrat for Texas state elections. Unfortunately, I just remembered the whole I’d-rather-leave-the-state-than-let-the-majority-out-vote-me incident of a few years ago. I guess I’ll be voting Libertarian.

i think it'll pass too (unfortunately). and i think your estimate is a good one.
Why can't you vote? Were you convicted of a felony (is being a law student and not being old enough to drive a felony?)
You really have no excuse for not voting. You knew about the election in plenty of time to register. It's filling out a pre-paid postcard. You and p-man are on my shame list. Bad citizens!
I couldn't change my registration because I need to remain a
resident of my parents' house. The absentee voting forms have to be filled out very early, and no one was talking about the election until too late.
If only I'd voted, my vote could have cancelled out the 1,200,000 vote margin of victory.
That really doesn't explain why you NEED to remain a resident of your parents' house. You're a grown-up now, Sam. Though I'll probably have to check with Lauren for verification of that.
If I cease to be a resident of my parents’ house, I can't be on their car insurance policy; my insurance rate would then triple.
On the being a grown-up point, Elizabeth questions my ability to some much as grow facial hair. I'm really hoping to hit puberty before my (inevitable) commencement address.
Lauren won't back you up; she doesn't think I'm grown-up either. She did tell me that, if my GPA doesn't drop, she might "make a man out of me." It's just like American Pie, except I'm in law school and married.
