Here’s When & Where You Can Vote in Daviess County, Kentucky

Growing up, my parents used to take me to vote with them. My first memory of tagging along was going to the precinct once located in the Junior Achievement building on Tamarack (R.I.P.) There were so many people who showed up to vote that the line was all the way out the door. I was in elementary school and bored to TEARS.

I'm sure I drove my mom crazy with questions, but once we made it into the voting booth, my eyes were wide as saucers. She whispered to me what she was doing as she pulled levers and turned knobs. It felt like we were the Wizard of Oz behind the curtain. I was fascinated, and when she let me help her, it felt like we were doing something really important.

Because we were! Your vote is your voice, and it TRULY matters. It wasn't too long ago that we had a local election that was decided by ONE SINGLE VOTE. That was enough proof for me to show up every single time I have the chance. Posting on social media will not change things. Complaining to your family at the dinner table will not change things. Fussing to yourself when you get gas will not change things. I mean, I'll still do it, but actual change comes via a Scantron sheet and an ink pen when you bubble in those rectangles.
