Odd fact: even though this is a ridiculously, wastefully expensive election (at $6 billion), it's still less than Americans spent on Halloween this year ($8 billion).
I'm trying to parse which part is worse.

It was 50 minutes in line for me to vote this morning, and that was probably longer than 2008, but MD has a bunch of social issues on the ballot (same sex marriage, a dream act, gambling, etc.).

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Xpost with Bitches - I got my boyfriend (on crutches) to the polls and voted and then to work, but there was already too long a line for me at the polling station. Which means I'm going to have to do the after work voting thing. UGGGGH.

Is it weird that in NY, they son't require ID to vote? They have books with our signatures in them, sorted by address, and then you sign next to your name.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Voted! In and out in about 13 minutes. No line, and they were having trouble with the machine, so technically I don't think my vote is in the system yet. But, done! They said there'd been ten people so far, including us.

I've always considered that the norm.
I haven't voted yet, but I did read up on everything on the ballot last night. I'm not expecting much, if any, lines.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
In MA, we don't even have the signature thing! You just tell them who you are.

I think the Senate race will bring people out, but really have no idea -- there was no line for the primary at my polling place.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
How weird is it that I didn’t realize until yesterday that NY had a Senate race this year?
