Mar 2020

I totally understand about Californians waiting to send in their mail-in ballots. My husband, mom, and I have been hanging onto our ballots because we wanted to see how things were shaking out for the candidates. Weeks ago, we filled out everything except for the box for presidential candidate.

I've been pro-Joe for a long time but wasn't sure if he was going to get the momentum he needed to win and I wanted to make sure my vote counted as much as I could. Well, last Thursday, we all made our decisions and mailed them out. My husband and I checked the box for Biden, and my 90-year-old mom voted for Warren.

I was so happy to see the blowout in South Carolina and pray that it continues. So, yes, I totally believe that my fellow Californians were waiting for a sign and I also believe that last night was it!

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
