To the tune of “If You’re Happy and You Know it”

If you’re wary (and you should be) plan your vote.

If it’s scary (and it may be) plan your vote.

If you want to beat “The Man,”

Then you better have a plan!

If you’re wary (and you should be) plan your vote.

I live in “Heaven.” “Heaven” is in a blue state where the cities have many convenient polling locations, where the poll workers are polite, and where you only have to show i.d. if it’s your first time voting. (We applaud and ring a bell.) If your signature looks like raccoon paw prints or a snail trail on your mail in/drop off ballot envelope, is missing a middle initial, an apartment number, or whatever, nobody rejects it. We trust you.

We have early voting on-site at selected locations, and you can drop off your ballot in one of our many available ballot boxes, which are under 24-hour surveillance. We have no limit on how many ballots you can drop off. Don’t even think of taking out your i.d. at the polls, unless it’s your aforementioned first time. We get offended when people start to reach for their wallets. We do not want to be mistaken for one of “those” states.
