Yes, I agree. Voting is a right but also a duty in a democracy. And you used your right. You never told us if your nominee won but it's irrelevant to the story. Good luck. Ulla:)))

Thank you! Came in third!
Comment from Tpa
Nice job. Was the whole booth covered in black? Or were you secretly hidden by a black curtain? "DEEP BREATH," NOT AND, other than those minor infractions that I saw. You wrote a good prompt with minimum words.

Thank you.
Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell
You did a great job with this flash fiction. I like the way you didn't say if the one you voted for actually won. But, you did vote, and that's what the contest asked for. Well done and good luck in the contest. :)) Sandra

Your description of the routine task of casting one's vote emphasises the good fortune we have in being part of a democracy and able to elect our representatives rather than have the foisted upon us. It is a precious right and one not to be taken lightly.

Excellent! I believe everyone should be voting. It is a privilege that many people have not had the opportunity to do. I hate it when those that have strong opinion and like to express themselves verbally shrug away the opportunity to made a difference.

Comment from John Ciarmello
This is nicely done and leaves the question open as to whom you may have voted for, as it is not said that it was a presidential election. A good piece for the contest. Best, JohnC

Thank you for sharing this writing prompt entry with us. I wish more people voted in our country. I wonder if the results would be any different. I enjoyed reading.

Comment from K.L. Rockquemore
Great flash.
It can be tricky to tell a complete story in under a hundred words, but you have done just that.
You did a creative job with the prompt.
Voting can be a nerve wrecking process but it is our duty.
Thanks for sharing..

Comment from Bill Schott
Voting and being confident that it is properly applied to the contest is what "used' to separate the U.S. from the third world. Now, after one term of conmen, it has been put into suspicion.

Have your feelings changed from the day after today. What a farce there is writing to the story of how the red-headed twit was to blame. Perhaps, the citizenry simply had enough, and followed those who overthrew King George.
