We got to the polling site shortly after they opened, but there was a little bit of a delay, because only one of the voting machines was working. The rest had not been reprogramed for DST, so they wouldn’t be up and running until 7am. Hrmph. While I was waiting my turn, I eavesdropped on the couple in line behind me. They made a few comments about being amazed at how many Democrats were present, and how misguided we were. Then, as I was leaving after voting, I overheard the woman comment that “Democrats must get out of bed really early.” Why yes, yes we do, ma’am.
As a small blue dot in a sea of endless red, it was interesting to listen to a couple of Republicans whinging about being in the minority.
