Longer lines here than usual, too.
I had a whole section about civic pride.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I was at a Bare Naked Ladies concert in DC in December 2000 on a Canadian federal election day. They interrupted the concert to announce the results and make snarky remarks about the (still ongoing) US shambles.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
No line here, but my precinct rarely has one. All booths full and a steady stream of people in/out the whole time I was there. Also, tons of parents bringing their kids, which was always such an exciting and momentous and also boring thing for me as a small person.

I appear to be choosing my City Treasurer based on the candidates' favorite books. Masters of Rome vs the Bible.

t's still less than Americans spent on Halloween this year ($8 billion).
Yes, and 60% of that was me: buying and having all this candy for no trick or treaters.
Happy Election day everyone. Our fresh hell will be over soon.

Happy Election Day everyone! I plan on checking in here often, elsewhere not so often. Esp as the day wears on. At least we already voted absentee, and yes, neurotically checked to make sure our ballots were in.

I'm so glad I voted last week! Thank goodness for the permanent absentee ballot option.
Lemme see, if the polls in Ohio close at 7:30PM, that's 5:30PM PST, and if I go climbing from 7-9PM, I might still make it home in time to hear them call the election.
I was planning to stay in and watch Stewart & Colbert, but my climbing partner's schedule changed, and maybe the gym will be half-empty with everyone at home watching the results.

-t, that makes perfect sense to me! Although I shouldn't want the City Treasurer to use Roman politicking as a go-by, if you catch my drift...

A CNN editorial: America's voting system is a disgrace
You did not say that it was written by David Frum! It's shocking to me how many voices on the Right have been purged from the party, and then once purged suddenly they develop a much more nuanced analysis.
