Normally, I use the column to make a case for or against some person or some policy, but not today. If you need convincing at this point, I’d have to ask why you’re a VIP Member of Townhall, honestly. It would be like me subscribing to The Atlantic or The New Yorker when I could just eat lead paint chips or inhale some brain-damaging fumes.

I’m not going to do that, and I’m not going to waste your time today either. Tomorrow is Election Day, and you have to go vote. If you’ve already voted, you aren’t done – this is too important to just leave it to having checked the box yourself; we all need to make sure as many boxes as possible have been checked.

If you haven’t voted yet, call your family members, friends, co-workers, neighbors – pretty much anyone you know who is conservative or just inclined to vote Republican – and drag them with you to the polls. Pick them up, toss them over your shoulder or stuff them in a burlap sack and get them to the voting booth.

If you’ve already voted, great, that frees you up to be Uber for others today. That same list of people – family members, friends, co-workers, neighbors – may say they’re going to vote, but them saying they’ll do something is not enough. If you give them a ride to the polls, either with you to vote or just as their driver, that guarantees they get the job done.

Whatever happens, no matter how the election goes, you need to know you did every last measure of what was possible on your end, no matter how small it may seem, to fight the leftists and their radical, anti-American agenda. If that means shuttling around people you barely know, but know will vote the right way, then that’s what it means.

I would caution, however, against helping the opposition. Only offer aid and comfort to people you know will vote the right way. Democrats can drive their own people, or they can walk, hitchhike and get picked up by some creepy weirdo, or not vote at all – I honestly do not care.

If their ride doesn’t show, good. If they forget, great. The fewer leftists making it to the polls, the better the world ends up being.

If you live in Maine, go vote for Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME). Is she ideal? Of course not. But she’s the only Republican who can win up there, and I’d rather have someone with me who’d vote the right way 90 percent of the time over someone who never would. Plus, Troy Jackson has two kids with his cousin, for crying out loud.

If you live in South Carolina, go vote for Sen. Darline Graham (R-SC). Is it ideal that someone’s sibling is following into the Senate? No. But it is less ideal to have a Democrat there under any circumstances.

If you live in Florida, um, I don’t even have to say anything about how crazy Angie Nixon is or really worry about Florida. I wish other states were more like Florida.

In Michigan, the question really is about whether or not a candidate more interested in other places on the planet than the United States can get elected. Can someone whose loyalties lie with their ethnicity and faith rather than the Constitution and people who don’t conform to their wishes. Outside of New York City, will people in this country elect someone whose sympathies lie with America’s enemies? I don’t know what the answer is, sadly, but I do know if you live in Michigan, you can make sure you have a say in it by getting as many people as possible to the polls.

Before work, after work, at lunch, whatever you have to do and can do, tomorrow is the day to do it. It may seem odd to reach out to friends and family to see if they’ve voted yet or if they need or would like a ride tomorrow, but it will never be as awkward as having to live in a country governed by the parade of mutants and monsters Democrats have on the ballot across the country.

Vote against them all and work against them all untill the polls close.
