I was all worried about how long the voting lines were going to be, and was arranging a kid swap so I wouldn’t have to take John with me. I had heard of people waiting two to three hours to vote early, so what would it be for the regular voting day? Then my friend called me right after our exercise class and said, “forget the shower, come and vote now.”
So, I went directly to the high school, where there were TONS of cars, but once inside, the line, especially for A-K, was SHORT. In minutes I had my little voting card and was waiting for a ballet box. It was quick, painless, and I exercised my right to vote. I guess 10:30 is the time to go. Even if you are in your scroungy work-out clothes with no makeup.
I hope you all do the same. Well, the voting part, not the scroungy no makeup part.
And then let me know. How long was your wait?
And, once you’ve voted, you can go and get your free chick-fil-a sandwich, your free Krispy Kreme donut, your free Starbucks coffee, and your free Ben and Jerry’s ice cream cone. Seriously.
We voted at 9:45 and only had about 7 in front of us, but the line at 10:00 was even shorter. We also got our flu shot in the same building. What a deal!
I walked in at 7:45 and it took ten minutes until I was all done!
All the early voting paid off with short lines on election day!
Ditto–thanks to all those early voters! I also went around 10:00 and only spent about 20 minutes. I had two 3-year-old girls with me, and they were really well-behaved, especially after I gave them a sucker.
So now what’s this business about getting free stuff after you vote? I thought I was up on everything free, but apparently I still have much to learn from the master!
