Alas, though, that Prop H8 did garner the votes of so many Obama supporters. Progress sure is Slow... {sigh} I also love to vote On The Day and this one was Perfect in all kinds of ways.

There was no line at all. I was on the list, signed the guest book, got my ballot, inked my spots according to my painstakingly premarked sample ballot, watched them send it through the scanner, and was out of there in five minutes. As I left, though, a line had formed and there were ten people in it, with more coming toward the door. I think I must have just beaten the vote-after-work crowd. I actually <em>was</em> a little disappointed. I had my MP3 player in my pocket and I was ready for the long haul and a little voter camaraderie. I was even spoiling for a fight at being told that they couldn't find my name on the voter roll. But nothing went wrong. I hope it lasts. Vikki – I walked in to my polling place at 5:00 PM sharp.
