Keep your chai, I want CHANGE



So I did end up going to a bunch of candidates who I'm definitely not supporting out of familial obligations. Fortunately, it hasn't killed me yet. Unfortunately, I haven't gotten around to visiting the people who I think I may want to vote for to make a decision.

I've been going around visiting family, looking at lists of names...but not really calling anyone because these aren't candidates I'm supporting. Am I being dishonest..?

Somewhat...I guess; but you know what, I'm going in the spirit of supporting family. So I don't feel horrible about it.

In time, when I've actually figured out who exactly I'm supporting, I hope to be able to go wherever I want. Apparently, its still early and people are still organizing themselves (although elections are less than five weeks away!).

Elections + small country + large families = confusing situation for voters.

elections should be smooth, because frankly most people know who to vote for... however, its the last minutes before you ink your vote on that peace of paper and hell of a minute...
