(And I heard the lines were worse in the morning, not as bad in the afternoon...) I got to the polls in Alexandria, VA at 4:45 last Tuesday afternoon. I was expecting a long line, but there was...nobody. My roommate and I were in and out of there in less than five minutes. That was some dedication right there!

I can take my time, research the candidates and issues. Then I can put a stamp on it or drop it off at some designated spot. :) Whew. I'm happy so many others were willing to stand in those lines to vote. I’m glad I live in Oregon where my ballot arrives in the mail a month before election day.

Sounds rather archaic. No wonder it took so darn long! Glad you made it, though. :) Also, I ordered your book last night from Amazon. I'm looking forward to reading it!

I kind of lucked out today for the main election today ( I always vote on election day, early voting just isn't the same!) and got there when there was a lull in the line as I left the line was really starting to get deep!

The early voting lines took hours. Normally I early vote but was out of town this time. Got to vote with DH, who voted for first time (just became a citizen expressly to vote in this election). Biting nails for returns now. Wine or pie? Well, ok, bike. Phew, took 15 minutes at 8:30am this morning. The early voting lines took hours. Normally I early vote but was out of town this time.

We live in a brand new neighborhood way out in the boonies, so our district isn't hugely populated yet. A friend waited almost 2 hours this morning... Maybe it's the PMS, but I couldn't help but get a little choked up. A divisive campaign resulting in a public united in the desire to exercise their right to vote...and there I was with a lump in my throat... Just waited not quite five minutes to vote tonight.
