Me. That’s right. Thanks in part to media hype, early voting turnout was ridiculously high. People stood in lines for 3 and 4 hours just to early vote. Not me. I said all along that with 100x the number of voting machines and dozens more locations to vote, November 4 would not be very crowded.
This morning, my wife and I got the kids all set and headed off about 9:05 to vote–figuring that the initial crowds would have died down by then. It was even better than I thought. We walked right in, walked right up to each station, and walked right up to machines. Seriously, we were out in 10 minutes.
So, a big “thank you” to all the people who stood in line for hours to early vote so that I could walk right in and out on November 4!
Also, it felt really good to finally vote for people I could believe in rather than the “lesser of two evils.”
And I dislike early voting. Too many ways to cheat system. I could have voted in CA, then went to NC with and registered with my new address. Needs to be uniform. I actually think voting should be a 4 or 5 day weekend, and not spread out like it is now.
