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.
Ten percent of nothing is -- let me do the math here -- nothing into nothing, carry the --

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.
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?

If Florida goes blue I'll pee.
There is no way I can read this sentence that doesn't make me think of pregnancy tests. Is Allyson having Florida's baby?
I don't care if there's precedent, I am open to a "no to asteroids slamming into the Earth" platform.
Asteroidist!
I voted. It took an hour. Now I am at work biting my nails down to stumps while my kids are at home eating my pumpkin pie.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I'll be leaving the house in a few minutes to go (stand in line to) vote.
I have a 9:20 dr appointment, and I really hope I am not late for it.

In MO and KS, I've ALWAYS had to show an ID to vote. I mean, it could be a college ID or some such, but ID, yep. (Voting since...1990)

They usually ask here, but they're not supposed to except at early voting.

Worcester has a ridiculously low voting rate, so I'm sort of expecting the same from Holden, but I could be wrong. There are certainly quite a few signs for the senate race around here.
