The time has come for Giuseppe and Maria Imbrenda.
“My vote is in my car,” Giuseppe said. “We vote early.”
They are going to go to an early voting site and drop off their mail-in votes in person. This time, they found that the vote has a lot on it.
Maria looked over a sample vote and said, “I know a lot of this. Not all of it, but a lot of it.”
A lot of people say you should study before you vote.
“I do some research. Since I live in Doral, I look at the proposals and the candidates.” “We pretty much know how we want to vote and what we expect on the major tickets, like for president. But you have to read the others,” Giuseppe said.
Votes sent by mail are already being checked in as election officials get ready for two weeks of early voting in person.
“That’s the great thing about doing it for 14 days straight, 12 hours a day. “Go to our website ahead of time and check out the wait times,” said Christina White, Miami-Dade Supervisor of Elections. “This is a very important tip that I really want people to use.”
Maria and Giuseppe want everyone to vote, whether they do it early, by mail, or on Election Day.
“Be here. Cast your vote. We need to go out and vote. We, our kids, our family, the city, and our country all care a lot about it. Maria said, “It’s very important.”
