I left the apartment a bit after 7am this morning, and stood in line for about 40 minutes or so to vote… When I got to the front it turned out that I got my old folks homes confused and I really needed to vote at the polling station across the street at the OTHER old folks home. Fortunately, the line was a little shorter there… The first line was about 100 people or so, almost all of which were my age or younger… There was only a smattering of people older than me on either line… I really hope the turnout is as good (or better) than predictions… Regardless of who wins, I’d like to see as many people vote as possible…
it took steve an hour to vote this morning, and I can see that the civic center is packed. and this is alabama. not sure what indication this is on a national level, but our town is much smaller than yours and our voting place is packed.
That’s awesome… Again, everyone wins when lots of people vote, regardless of the actual outcome.
Hour and a half wait this morning at Ground Zero Fuckup…I mean Florida. People in front of me said they’d used the same polling place for the last 3 presidential elections and the turnout was never even close to this big. And we had early voting. Encouraging.
