Well, That Was Easier Than Anticipated

by Jodifur on November 4, 2008

5 minutes, total. The walk over took longer. I didn't want to drive because I was worried about parking. I was the only one in the place at 1:15 and they gave us two stickers.

I actually got a little choked up voting. This is such a historic moment. Even if he losses, and I don't think he will, I just voted for an African American to be President of this country. I'm proud of America. I don't think racism is dead, but I think we've come a long way baby!
I've got a long day ahead of me waiting for results. But I think I like the way things are looking.

As an aside, I actually used my legal education for good today. Devra was having difficulty voting and she twittered the issue and I told her what to do. Yeah! Democracy in action.

1pm must have been the time to be there…I was leaving at 1pm (after arriving at 11:30am) and there were only 5 people in line. I went through the ballot very quickly because I knew exactly how I was voting on everything but then took a moment to just soak it in right before I hit the submit button. So cool!

Yipee! So glad it was quick and easy for you!
I am so happy that people are voting without looking at the color of anyone’s skin.

No fair! I may have voted in a bar but I didn’t get stickers. We just got a slip of paper. I can’t put a slip of paper on my kid.

Enjoy the long night of election coverage.

We also got 2 stickers … but Noah really liked the sound of his voice in that echoy school auditorium …so, maybe they were just happy to get us out of there!?
