We just got back from the polls, and I cast my vote for President for that nice little Methodist lady.
For the first time since we moved here there was a significant line to wait in--normally there's no one else or just three or four people. It took us about 45 minutes. We vote at a small Baptist church; the building is an older one and not very accessible--the ramp is at the opposite side of the building! The hallway to enter and exit the actual room with the polls is very narrow, and the entrance and exit are the same door. It's rather claustrophobic! But there was a notice on the door that this is the last time we will be using it to vote--we are to get letters with a new voter ID telling us where to go next time.
We had a number of state bills on the ballot. I voted for some and against others. One would have been an excellent bill if it weren't for one little sentence in it.
I was a little caught off guard with having to affirm or not the state Supreme Court justices--that wasn't publicized at all, but I went ahead and did so.
This afternoon we pick someone else up that needs a ride to the polls, and after that we just have to wait and see what's happened.
