I've never been to an election like this one.
I've been to the polls quite a few times in my life but I've never seen anything like this. I drove over to the regular polling place for my precinct this morning. I had the cheat sheet I prepared after studying some of the more obscure district judges and dog catcher races over the last couple of weeks. I walked up to the door and paused to fish out voter registration and cheat sheet and get my phone set to stun and noticed signs saying that the place is a Republican polling place and that the Democratic polling place is a couple of miles away in another fire station. A couple of folks came and went while I was there but there didn't seem to be much activity around the place and it didn't seem they were there long enough to mark a ballot, at least not the whole thing. So I walked back to the parking lot and climbed aboard the battle cruiser to head on over to fire station number two.
The story was very different at the next place. I waited for a slot to open and got parked. Several cars were leaving and a couple were arriving at the same time I was docking. I wandered around following the signs through side door to a couple of the fire house bays. Once inside, I found they had the place divided down the middle with the registration tables set up for two lines on the left for Democrats and two lines on the right for Republicans. There were 13 people in line on the left and no one in line on the right. There were two people in voting booths working on ballots. I notices almost everyone took as long to mark their ballot as I did. Most picked up the little ticket for the caucus tonight.
One thing is clear, more people are voting this election than I've ever seen before and they were sure lining up on the left. I think that is going to be good for Hillary around here even if some of that line were Limbots trying to do their little crossover thing. Maybe Rush should go ahead and pick out some dresses to wear in his next career.
