Today, my family and I all went to the polls! That included my husband, son and daughter. We waited about 30 minutes and took about 2 minutes to vote. Our voting precinct only had 7 machines as one was broken. Seriously at a HUGE election like this they'd have MORE machines to allow people to vote. I think that's not being very prepared.
Also, to make the voting a little more difficult; children are out of school. I understand they should go with their parents to "see the voting process in action," but it makes it a little difficult to control the children with LONG lines. So what my friends and I have done is take turns going to the polls. We know what kids are definitely not going to stand still and wait in lines, so we make arrangements to watch each other's children. So I've got another 2 1/2 year old and a 2.5 month old coming to the house. Our friend Jodie took on the other 3 year old sibling of the baby (2.5 month old) as she already has a 4 month old at her house. So she has 3 kids and I have 4. Luckily the baby showed up sleeping :) :) :)
Okay, I think it's time to make lunch for the kids. At least it'd be time for lunch when I'm done making it.
Hope you take the time to get out and vote. I don't care for who...just go vote! If you don't vote, you can't complain about the way things are ran in the country. At least you got to voice your opinion!
