An era of political violence

Mom was up at the crack of dawn on Election Day. Not because she wanted to be first in line to vote, but she had a more compelling reason. As captain of the team of volunteer poll workers, she needed to be at city hall, just across the street, before the voters started pouring in at 7 a.m. And always a stickler for details, mom wanted everything ship shape before the most important day of our democracy began. 08/14/2024 04:33 PM
