Mr. B, HS and I were at the polls early this morning. Not at 6 when they opened (with a line starting to wrap around the building, according to one of the poll workers), but early enough that we went out to breakfast afterward. Our check came to $17.76, which we found quite appropriate.
Our precinct is fairly small, so there weren’t many people ahead of us and we didn’t have to wait long to vote. Still, I passed on my suggestion that those few of us who bother to come out for the primary could be given a FastPass so we could jump to the head of the line in the general election. I didn’t notice the worker writing it down, so I won’t hold my breath.
My fellow Americans, get out there and do your civic duty! If you need an extra incentive, Starbucks is giving a free tall brewed coffee today to anyone who votes.

I keep waiting to hear about the long lines. Where are the stories about the LONG LINES??? *hmph*
Long lines? The post office didn’t have long lines.
(I LOVE mail in voting …)

I couldn’t agree with you more about those who vote in every election (not just the Presidential ones) getting “straight to the front of the line” treatment – although the lines are never bad when we’re only voting on the local city council. (Shame, really.)

Dang, I wish I drank coffee…
There were no lines in our precinct. Walked in, signed in, voted, walked out…I’m thinking the lines will show up later, when other people get off work.
It’s nice to be able to vote at 10 a.m.
