Vote

[mmerriam]

I did.  It's so easy, a blind man can do it.   Now you have no excuse.    Go vote.

We got there at 6:50 am.   I walked out at 7:50 am, and it only took that long because I wasn't listed as registered (though careswen was) and I had to stand in a third line to re-reg.  The line at the Hopkins Fire Station was two blocks long when we got there, and it was too blocks long when I left.  I was voter number 127 in my precinct.

Go Vote.

My arrival timing was similar to yours, although the wait was shorter; I was amazed at how quiet it was, but based on the last election here, everyone will try to vote after work. I don't know exactly how many people had voted before me, but when I declined to use the electronic machine being given a trial run, I was told that of the seventy people who had already voted, only one had chosen to use the electronic booth.

Thank you.

Way to go!

We voted, a little late -- had a phone call to take care of at 9 AM. There was no electronic option in our little backwater St. Paul neighborhood.

The only waiting was for the elderly gentleman in front of me who needed help getting the paper ballot into the reader machine, and then needed to talk to the attendant who helped hme. His hearing wasn't so good.

I love East St. Paul.

Holy cow! I was number 254 at 4:30 in the afternoon. I'm not sure if I'm in a small precinct or everyone around here is way apathetic or what.
