Obligatory Voting Post

[chargirlgenius]

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. :-)

Even with the right to do it, I might not. All depends. If I can walk in and out, it's no problem. But if Jeff's on travel, I have both boys, nobody to watch them, etc, then it's more attractive to vote early.
