I voted today. It was a painless process really. I got two hours off from work so I woke up at my regular time, walked over to the local PS, got in line and voted in about 20 minutes. Sunset Park had a steady and slightly disorganized presence. The volunteers were a bit ruffled but were able to coral everybody in and out of the voting booth. I have to say the old voting machines are pleasurably physical. It's very satisfying to pull and push levers and see a little X mark the spot. In my dreams it would have been Hillary with an X next to her name, but as long as Obama can pull this off I will be a happy girl.
Feeling in a civil service mood and with an hour to kill, I made my way to the Manhattan DMV Express office and traded in my Texas license (from when I was seventeen or eighteen!) which expires this year on my birthday for a NYS one. A final transition. I was impressed by all the bureaucratic efficiency. Nothing to complain about really.
Now it's time to wait. and bite my nails. time to barack and roll!
