Voted around 1 pm today, after standing out in the cold (28 degrees) for an hour with a fellow Corralen(e)a -- we held Obama signs together, and nearly everyone that passed us in their cars gave thumbs up, waved, hollared support out their windows, or honked and banged on their steering wheels. What fun!
Sadly it was just too cold to stand outside, so we went inside to vote.
My only suggestion is, don't wait until 6:45 tonight to go vote. The parking lot at the Corrales Rec Center was jammed with cars at noon. There were dozens of patient voters lined up in Disneyland-style twisty lines inside the gymnasium. People were serious about their voting today, and they are coming out in droves. Expect to wait, but you will have fun. Everyone seemed to be in a bouyant mood.
And guess what? Simple paper ballots and black ink pens. You fill in the block next to the name of the candidate of your choice, fold up your ballot and drop it through the ballot box slot. After all the (well-deserved) fuss about electronic voting machines, vote tampering, stolen elections and equipment breakdowns, it was a joy to vote the old-fashioned way.
