Voting is Fun

by AltHippo @ 12:29 pm. Filed under 2008 Elections

I voted for Obama (as well as various local officials here in the People’s Republic of DC) at the church in back of my building. DC precincts break the line up by alphabet. In my case I had one person in front of me. I also had the option of touch screen or paper, but I went with the paper. I can only describe my polling place as classic Americana: the church bake sale, a baseball field, children playing on the jungle gyms. If you didn’t know it was “urban” you would swear you were out in the middle of the fly-over states.

My mother, on the other hand, voted in Rockville. It took her over 1.5 hours. Two people fainted in line.

I’ll have pizza and beer tonight watching the returns. If things break early, we may go walk down U Street and join in on all the commotion.

Meanwhile, I understand the PUMAs have all voted Republican. Weird how they get all defensive when I say they’re a Republican dirty tricks operation.
