Yes we can vote in under twenty minutes!

Dudes, the old people who run the elections at my precinct had that thing working like a well-oiled machine. I saw half the people who live on my block there. And coming home, I passed all these houses with Obama/Biden signs and American flags flying...and the occasional Irish flag, because, hey, they do love their heritage around here. :)

I cannot wait for the results, I am as excited as if it were about our own elections!

I was so excited I couldn't sleep last night. All "Tomorrow's election day! Tomorrow's election day!" Like a kid the night before Christmas.

I just hope I don't get coal in my stocking, Anita!!!!!!

Voting in DC is brilliant. It's always so well run in my polling place, and I see the same volunteers every time. And then there is an awesome bakesale for the local schools and whoever makes the chocolate chip cookies they sell there is AWESOME. Those things are crazy good. Oh, and we still have paper ballots so I get to fill out my vote with a tiny #2 pencil. It puts a smile on my face EVERY TIME.

Yes! There was also a bake sale outside my polling place. I got cake. Yum! I hope election day ends as happily for me as it began...

We have the same little ladies all the time at my place, they range from 50 and up. There are 8 of them and they keep it moving, no shenaningans and you better keep your voice down and your kids in check. *lol* I love those ladies.

Awww! They sound delightful. It's a very similar situation at my precinct. It's the same people every year, including my next-door neighbor who always makes sure I'm in the right line. Yay democracy in action!

They sell *cakes* outside your polling booths? I feel cheated out of a vital componant of democracy now.....

Hee. Yes, baked good really add to the experience! I vote at an elementary school, and every year they have a bake sale set up outside to help raise money and also to properly caffienate and carbohydrate (pretend that's a verb) the voters.

See, our elections are really dull. There's no queuing, no chads, no cakes; Just a pencil and an old woman with a clipboard.

I think some of our old people finally passed on because we had some new blood. After 9 years I finally was treated to compentency and I got a sticker! Seriously, my first sticker in a decade. I'm thrilled!

I still have never gotten a sticker. Oh, well. Maybe when we re-elect Obama!
