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.
Every nightmare I have that doesn't revolve around academic failure or public nudity is about that thing. In fact, once I dreamt that it attacked me while I was late for a test and naked.

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
How weird is it that I didn’t realize until yesterday that NY had a Senate race this year?
Is it contested?

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.
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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
It must be lingering effects of the time change, but I woke up early and couldn't get back to sleep so I actually came in to work early today.
Also, new tag for today.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
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 have never had to show ID to vote until today. But, you know, Ohio.
I got in and out with maybe a 10-minute wait. And I GOT EXIT-POLLED! I am so fucking excited about that! I've never been exit-polled before! I think I scared the exit-poll worker, because when she asked me if I would agree to fill out an exit poll, I practically lunged at her and said, "Really??? YES!!! I've never been exit-polled before!!!"

So in Ohio the polls close at 7:30 Eastern time.
Harry Enten sez:
don't expect the state to be called by the networks for at least four hours after closing.
Oof. It's gonna be a long night, probably....

Punishingly Intricate
My wait was also about 50 minutes this morning. Line was much longer than in 2008.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I think it was in Louisiana where the poll-working ladies were so adamant about educating voters that THEY DO NOT NEED TO SHOW ID. I love those ladies.
I think I'm going to wait until the afternoon to walk over and vote. Because I still haven't read all the Propositions. Sigh.
I heard an interview with someone who studied how kids learn from failure and why some kids take it well and others really really don't. What I remember is that kids who were told "you're so smart!" when they got things right were more likely to think that being wrong meant they weren't smart and everything is ruined forever. And this started when the kids were 1-3 years old, learning to walk and talk and whatnot and getting feedback from parents.
