This is probably just a straight up excuse, but I feel like my time is so torn between a demanding job, parenthood and trying to get enough sleep to do it all over again...that I literally only had to time to look into a couple of candidates. I don't like going to the polls and just selecting someone based off their party because I didn't get a chance to do the research on them as an individual. I have always voted in the past and done the homework to vote for the person who aligned best with me, but this time, I just could not find the opportunity to do that same research beforehand. Plus, there were a ton of issues I kept jotting in my phone notes to look into and I couldn't get around to it. Poor time management or exhaustion? Probably both.
