Yep, I voted. I was number 503 in our little precinct in this little hick town in which we live. That's a lot to have already voted at 10:30am. The parking lot of Emmanuel Southern Baptist (and lightning didn't even strike when I walked into the building!) was packed and I waited in a short line; the first time ever for me there.
I saw quite a few young people, four native people and one black family in line and felt like cheering. Usually it's just middle-aged white people that I've seen there voting.
It gave me hope even for this red (necked) state in which I live. It made me both hopeful and proud that so many are getting out and caring.
I'm wearing my "I voted" sticker proudly.
Now I'm gonna go finish this chair and then make the two stage signs for Faire this weekend.
