greatbearWe voted. No line, no hassles, in and out in less than ten minutes. I'm sure the Diebold machines recorded our votes fair and square. Yeah, right. I had to cram the smart card into the machine twice before it was recognized.
Our polling place is located in the middle of Schooley Mill Park, just up the road from us about two miles away. To get to the park we drive past several large ego houses. All but one were sporting McCain/Palin yard signs. I sure hope these people are in for a lot of disappointment. So much for our part of the state being all open minded and progressive.
It seems that it rains here every time there is an election. This was no different. It was a light rain, but not even a category five hurricane was going to keep us from our civic duty. And that's exactly what it is. If one does not vote, then I should not have to hear one bit of complaining about policy, politicians or anything related. Be a part of the process if you want to benefit by it. Otherwise, quit your fucking bitching.
Now, we wait.
