That thing we do.


 I voted on a Saturday, in case I couldn't get out to the polling place on Election Day, which is today.

For the first time since I moved here, there was a line.  Also one for voting from your car.  But the line was polite and friendly enough and moved reasonably quickly.  I was number 11,100 at our polling station, and a worker said it was the busiest one in the county.  A report later that week said that the turnout was the highest of the last three midterms.

As it happened, I had a meeting today at a building that is a polling place, and they had a frame for people to use.  I explained that I had voted earlier, to make sure I'd been able to do so (one worker said that was smart) but they insisted I get a photo.
