“I belong to no organized party. I am a Democrat.” – Will Rogers
I’ve been reading of lines stretching around city blocks, voters waiting hours to cast their vote in this historic election.
At my polling place, the Lower Lake United Methodist Church, there were no lines. I walked in. Signed in. Filled in the optical scan cards. Dropped the package in the shredder box and was on my way in less than ten minutes.
The poll worker I talked with said they expected to be there until 11PM.
I did think it odd that I had to dunk my finger in purple ink.
Oh, one last thing. Today is the last day to vote. Don’t let anyone tell you that the polls will be open tomorrow.
