today

[bix02138]

i waited in a respectably long line in north cambridge and voted. unusually, there was a fairly hefty discrepancy between the lists posted at the door and the official lists, and so provisional ballots were blooming all over the gym in which folks were attempting to vote. i'm happy to say i wasn't among those with problems.

on another note, a woman in front of me stepped up, gave her name, got her ballot and then marched right out of the building. my laughter got a querying look from the poll-worker who, when told of the woman's departure, ran after her to sort it out. on folks such as this woman the weight of democracy rests.

i've done my part; now it's up to the rest of america.

Haha... that's awesome.


They didn't even ask for me for an ID. Did they ask you?



And word. Go America Go.

i'm pretty sure i've never been asked for id of any kind.

I was never asked in CT ... but I guess I just assumed that was because it was guilford and I was on a first name basis with everyone at the voting place.




Does something seem wrong about this to anyone else?

Congratulations! At my own polling place, at 9 a.m., there were no lines, but lines were massive at the Davis Square polling place half an hour later (I passed it on the bus).

Here's to liberation!

Great. Like most things, if you don't exercise your franchise, it'll wither away.
