It comes down to this - the day we've all been waiting for. I was up at dawn ready to vote. The weather is beautiful, sun shining, people smiling and everyone is energized to vote.

So I stood in a VERY long line. These photos are shots of the line after 30 minutes of wait... there was another 30 minutes to go. I happened to be in the section of the alphabet that had the longest line. They were letting A-G through, P-Z, but H-O was the longest. The woman behind me casually commented that she regrets having her name just because she had to wait. It was a harmless comment, but the man behind her in a wheelchair, obviously a war veteran (probably from Vietnam or so) kept putting her in check saying, "Atleast we're not being shot at."

Here's my fear. I'm not in a particularly threatened area in terms of my vote being opressed. If you look at the lines, it's all white men and women... upper class, etc. They checked my ID, they did all the right stuff, but I still feel uncomfortable that I didn't get a receipt or any printout recording my vote. The electronic process was very easy and simple, but who's to know if my vote will be accounted for?

Anyway, will post later with the results!
