Franklin TV: Veni, Vidi, Votum

I Came, I Saw, I Voted!

by Pete Fasciano, Executive Director 11/03/2024


This year the locations for early voting in Framingham included the library dedicated to teacher/astronaut Christa McAuliffe.

Franklin TV: Veni, Vidi, Votum
Franklin TV: Veni, Vidi, Votum 
Never having seen it, Diane and I went to cast our votes and take in its soaring design as a new architectural landmark in town.

All libraries – new and old – are lovely places. An avid reader as a kid, I grew up in them. They were my Google/Internet, yada-yada.

We grow up, get busy and busier over time. Less and less time for the library. So our visit to the library was a return to my deeply personal place. Libraries are serene. So too, the act of voting is serene, as it should be. There’s also a bit of solemnity, and a quiet satisfaction that Diane and I did our tiny part in this grand experiment of democracy.

I also noted that a few folks glanced my way with a smile and a ‘thumbs up’.

What did they know? Odd.

Later in the day, I discovered that Diane placed an ‘I voted’ sticker on my back. (???) I suppose it’s better than ‘Kick me’.

If you haven’t yet, do find time to vote.

Vote – because you can.

And – as always –
Thank you for listening to wfpr●fm.
And, thank you for watching.
