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. :-)

Oh, and one of our ballot measures was to allow early voting in the future. *crossing my fingers*

Yeah, I opted for that measure too. I may not need it, but I like the ideal of flexibility for those who have less flexible schedules.
