I Voted!

[tanaqui]

Use this post to tell us you voted -- whether today, in early voting or by mail -- and what it was like.

Was it busy when you voted? Did you have any nice encounters and conversations when you went to vote? See any good or unexpected signs? Or any cute dogs? (Cute dogs at polling stations are a bit of a tradition in the UK -- I don't know if it's the same in the US!)

Did you persuade any friends, family or co-workers to go and vote?

Oh, and have a sticker.

I voted early, the day of the Pittsburgh shooting, when I couldn't do anything for any of them except vote for the future.

It was fnarking pouring rain, so I felt very pathetic fallacy about it, but everyone was very cheerful, I got in in the last 15 minutes it was open, and the woman next to me and I agreed that it was a good day to vote. (In that any day is a good day to vote.)

I stuck my "I voted early" sticker on my car, but it's since fallen off.

No bake sales then; I'm gonna go do a Yes On 3 (for trans rights) standout in a bit and see if the polling place has any today.

I'm glad that, on a day like that, you had something you could do that might (and hopefully will) make a difference, even if it didn't offer any immediate relief to those most affected. A good thing for you and a good thing for everyone in the long term.

Hope there's a bake sale to reward you for doing the standout!
