I voted.
I just about had a freaking panic attack when I got to the high school, there was a HUGE line that didn't seem to be moving, but it looked like they just hadn't opened up the doors on time; it was a good day to have a last name that started with L, because the H-L line was about four people long, and I'm glad that Robb and I haven't gotten married yet, because the C-G line was about 50 people long. Seriously, mooshing D in with any other letter where there are as many french-canadians as there are here? Bad planning.
Someone behind me was having a spaz attack because Essex only had about a dozen of the little curtained booths, so the actual voting line was moving slowly; they set up three long tables with pens, didn't say anything about it; clearly, if you didn't mind voting where people could see, you could fill out your ballot there, and if you wanted to wait for a little curtain, you could do that too. No one asked you to go to a table, it was just there. Some guy was all "Is that legal?" and "Can they do that?" Meanwhile, I grabbed a pen at the earliest possible opportunity.
I voted about as those who know me would expect, except that, as I discussed with Adam last week, I went prog for gov; I just couldn't make myself vote for That Woman. Not in the same year that I was voting for as eloquent a speaker as That One.
I wanted to bring Lucy with me, like a lot of people who brought their kids, to be able to tell her that she was a part of what I hope starts for the whole world today, but she'll have to be satisfied with being at the party tonight. PS, Silver-folk? neither Robb not I got the email that was sent. We are sad and lonely. :) We'll be there anyway, but if there were any details we needed to know about, please resend. Thanks!
