Election Day in the OD

...or my little corner of it, anyway.

Hit the polls before office hours this morning. It was a beautiful day here. Chatted with both the blue team and red team folks handing out literature. Went on in and walked right on up to the table--no line whatsoever and only a couple of people already filling out ballots. Did the deed. Had my usual OCD ballot-checking and -rechecking episode. Voted for the bad orange man--in fact, voted straight-ticket red team. The one amendment on the ballot is agreed upon by both teams. Cao is a bit conservative for me, but Kaine will win anyway, so NBD. And Kaine is alright. I wish he'd fight the power in the party more. But he's alright. Fed my ballot into the counter--VA has a great, standard system of paper ballots...dunno why everyone doesn't have it. Walked on out. Chatted with the people again. Petted some dogs. Went on to office hours...

JQ went later. I didn't go with her to monitor her voting as is my husbandly duty...but I'm sure she'll do as told. She's pretty sick, so she said she got there and just sat in the truck reading for a bit--long enough that the cop on duty there came over and checked out the situation. They chatted for a bit and she eventually made it inside and out again.

Voting's always pleasant here.

May the best man/person win.

Whatever happens, the nation will survive.

All best to my blue-team homies.
