Obligatory Voting Post

Drove up to the local school. Parked close to the door. Walked in through an empty corridor, my heels echoing. Went right up to give my name. Stood for about 30 seconds while waiting for a poll worker to finish explaining the machine to an elderly gentleman, so she could lead me to my machine. Voted. Got my sticker, walked out.

Total time, about a minute and a half.

That, folks, is what voting in rural America is like.

And yes, I teared up slightly as I walked out. :-)

Wow, my polling place was mobbed at 7 AM. Line stretched out around the building. I'm leaving work in half an hour or so to go vote.

I've heard that it's been easing up in many places.

Yeah, it was very quiet when I went. I picked the perfect time, I think, since it started to pick up a wee bit later in the afternoon.
