I just got back from voting. I always take election day off. If I am not so emotionally invested in the race that I can assure civility all day long, then I work the polls. Today, I am just staying home from work (& going to get the Third Season of the West Wing.To hell with Bush and Kerry: Bartlett for president.)
It's absolutely gorgeous out today in northern Virginia. I walked to the polls at the elementary school, and then stood in line for an hour to vote, this during an off peak time in a suburban precinct. Going to be an interesting race in ol' Virginny. We're expecting 80% turnout in most of NoVa, and that'll break for Kerry. Whether it'll be enough to swing the rest of the state is doubtful, but fingers crossed. (Touch screen machines.)
