"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?"
Yes, there's something about being physically part of the voting excitement you just can't get from a mail-in ballot. AND you get a sticker!
My parents were both precinct committeemen (persons?) when I was *very* young and so were very much involved in the election process and results. I have great memories of election nights. We would stay up on my parents bed (room with the only TV), watching all the returns and eating beernuts. It was the only time we bought them. Now, I find when election watching that I have a craving for beernuts. It just completes the picture...
I hope we do have a good idea of the results today; yesterday, a newscaster said that with all the early ballots being brought to the polls, it might not be for a couple of days.
