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. :-)

I walked into my polling place at 8:15 and was in my car talking to my mom by 8:28. I was in a longer line when getting my coffee this morning.

Got a free taco at lunch for wearing my Vote sticker. Every day should be sticker day!

A local store here is giving out free "marital aids" for those who voted. ;-)
