Election day

Sara and I voted Friday morning, so I really have nothing to do today other than fret. The line was long, the wait was about 90 minutes, but the crowd was in good spirits. I was actually surprised at how pleasant everyone was and how tolerant they were of the delay.

Over at the Daily Dish, Andrew Sullivan has shared a Nebraska voter’s report. It’s kind of fun to see fellow Nebraskans popping up there.

Any of you readers want to share your voting experience?

UPDATE: Another Nebraskan chimes in at the Dish.

Ahead of us in line was three-generations of an African American family. It was the first time voting for all three of them. The youngest, who graduated high school last year, was calling his friends and getting them out of bed while we waited in line. He was describing the polling place and giving directions for getting there. After he voted, he had probably the biggest grin I’ve ever seen.
