How will you be casting your votes, come this November?

My wife and I plan to go stand in line together, just like we did four years ago. That way, we can hold each other's place, if one of us needs to go to the bathroom or whatever. Last time, we had to stand in line for about an hour and a half; this time, we expect it to just as bad, if not worse. (State-level government services are really underfunded and understaffed, nowadays.)

I plan to bring my iPod, loaded with music and with podcasts (albeit totally non-political ones – I've had enough of that, thank you). My wife will probably bring our daughter's Nintendo DS. Sure, we could spend the time talking to each other, but last time we found it uncomfortable having conversations while standing in a long line with switchbacks, so that we not only have people closely in front and behind us, but also to closely to our left and right.
