I voted, have you?
I'm feeling extremely fortunate. I keep reading about people waiting hours to vote. I was in and out in 15 minutes. Than includes the time I spent in the booth pouring over a pretty long list of judges, college trustees, two state proposals (I voted "yes" for medical marijuana and stem cell research), and two city proposals.
In short, it was a beautiful day to walk the three blocks to my polling place. I stood in line for about a minute. (I was three people back at the greeter's desk.) I got my ballot and a voting booth opened up as I walked up. And I walked home.
Could there possibly be an easier, pleasanter way to save the world?
Proof that I'm not a "Bradley effect" voter.
A beautiful fall day for a stroll to my polling place. Notice everybody is wearing T-shirts and no jackets.
The nice greeter lady who directed people between the two precincts at our polling place.
There may not have been a line to wait in, but there was a brisk turnout. Note, every booth was full as I left. I was the 433rd voter at about noon today. That's about twice the usual all-day turnout in my precinct.
