Kiss me, I voted.
Nov. 4th, 2008 02:07 pmAt 7am when the polls opened, Mr. F waited 15 minutes to cast ballot #6.
At 8am when I got there, I waited 40 minutes to cast ballot #100.
Typically we vote in the evening, and they're lucky to have gone through that many in a full day.
Highlights:
I got to vote *twice* against my state rep whom I loathe and whom I've kicked off my porch, as he was up as an incumbent and there was also a recall initiative aimed at him.
I got to vote on stem cell research. I got to vote on therapeutic weed. I got to re-elect Kym Worthy, the prosecutor who just put Detroit's former mayor in jail. I actually hooted with happiness when I saw she was on my ballot.
For the first time ever, I got to vote for a different ticket than a wrinkled testicular pair of old white protestant men.
I got to vote, which I've done as a matter of course since I came of age, but today it gave me quite the jollies.
