I'm such a political junkie that I'm sure I'll watch the coverage all evening, even if nothing from my state will show up for a good while. Hmmmm... perhaps this needs to be our once-a-month Yay!Junkfood!Yum! night. Heh. Though I suppose I could just cook earlier; New Mexico polls are open until 7, after all. ...Nah..... *grins*
I was voter #22 in my precinct this morning. Anticipating a line, I brought my newspaper with me--then got in and out in less than 10 minutes, no line at all! Too late to go back home (and what for?) so I just went in to work early. *pats self on back for, um, unintentional(?) virtuousness*
Guido voted early, last Saturday at the Mall. She was #971 at that location and it was the last day for early in-person voting, so that's a pretty fair showing of voters, I guess. There were other early locations, but that was closest to us.
I decided to wait and go to the polls today. I just actually really enjoy the process of casting my vote, and for some reason, that seems... what.... more genuine somehow, if it's done on Election Day? Guidz didn't have much choice--she didn't request an absentee ballot and would have had to come down Monday night, be in line right at 7am and then drive like a bat back to Portales and still be an hour late for work. This way, she came down Friday after work and we had time for a high school football game, watching a tape of a "Grey's Anatomy" episode we'd both missed, and hanging out and shopping time together before she went back Saturday evening. The better deal, all around.
