I voted early Tuesday night. In theory, this was to avoid long lines on election day, but I waited for over an hour and a half, so I’m not sure I avoided anything. I think that’s about how long I waited in line to vote on election day in 2004. It’s entirely possible that there will be no lines on election day because everyone waited in line to vote early in order to avoid lines.
Stephanie and I went together, and we took Emma, but it was cold and the sun was setting so it was only going to get colder so I told Stephanie I didn’t want Emma in the cold for what looked like well over an hour’s wait (even though she was bundled up quite well). So she took Emma into the library (the non-voting portion of it) while I waited in line, and she went back during the middle of the day yesterday where she still waited about forty-five minutes.
Anyway this whole post was just an excuse to put up this cute picture of Emma taking a nap after her first trip to the polls.
