Election Day 2008 · 3 November 2008, 15:19
Voted this morning on my way to work! And the machine made a very agreeable thump as I cast my vote.
I’ve never seen the line spilling outside the building at P.S. 321 before, much less wrapping around the block and nearly halfway to 6th Avenue. Still, the machines were working and the whole business took about 45 minutes — not bad, in comparison with some other polling places! It’s frustrating to hear about the various SNAFUs around the country (and wondering how many of them were deliberately orchestrated!), but it’s been great to see so much excitement and determination in everyone.
And meanwhile, looking forward to playing drinking games and Election Bingo while watching the returns tonight.

I’m so excited that we went blue here in Colorado—one thing that’s nice is we had early voting, so most of us voted before Tuesday. I was in and out in 10 minutes or so.
