I’d be willing to lay down a hefty sum of money that says that at least 90% of all blogs that are published today somehow mention the presidential election that is taking place. It is a pretty exciting thing…this election. Both everything and<\/i> nothing is on the line. No matter who wins, our everyday lives will<\/i> go back to normal. I’m not here to debate that fact, because I’m sure some will…but I’ll skirt right on past the details…<\/p>\n
I arrived at my polling place at 7:40 this morning, and was out the door by 8:40. The room was filled with nerves, but it was fun for me. Of course, the party representatives all looked at me with glaring looks when I whipped out my California State driver’s license…they all checked their books to make sure I wasn’t breaking any federal laws. I just wanted to vote at a real machine instead of using the boring old absentee ballots. This was my first experience of voting at the machines…I really wanted to take a picture of myself doing it, but didn’t work up the gumption to do so while I was in the booth. <\/p>\n
The interface I used to vote was error-prone in many respects. I don’t want to get too into the details, suffice it to say that it could use some work. Also, to our backs was a set of windows which looked out to the parking lot, which was a bit worrisome. <\/p>\n
I’m glad I voted, and if you haven’t done so, you should do it soon! The results will be in at some point tonight, probably long after I’m in bed. This whole East-Coast time thing is pretty weak when it comes to election results. Late night news in old Cali’ is on really<\/i> late here, and I probably won’t be able to stay up for it…<\/p>\n
