Here we go...

Well, I done my duty. No big crowds at 10:45 a.m. I had the 517th ballot to go through the optical scanner; I'd guess there are about 2,500 registered voters in my precinct.

Nothing to do but wait. While waiting, spare a thought for all those candidates who've put the rest of their lives on hold to run for offices high and low in this election. From school boards to President, state Representative to US Senate, the moment of truth will arrive later this evening for all of them. It takes a lot of determination and a great deal of energy to go through a campaign, and I salute them all.

I was #363.

I kept hoping the scanner would make all those telltale "splat" noises, like when you submit a Scan-tron sheet with wrong answers. ;)
