Yet another Election Day post

I live in Massachusetts so it's not like there was any swing-state drama, but I was still so glad to see all those people who *cared*. Last time, my sister and I went to vote and we were the youngest people who had been there all day, and the place was deserted. Such a big difference, it was really impressive.
The voting itself went well, no problems other than that I am a dufus. I looked at the precinct list, found Main Street, went to that precinct, told the ancient and adorable ladies where I lived, and had them look at me blankly then blink a lot before trying to find me.
A couple minutes of mumbling later, I said, 'oh. wait. does it make a difference that I live on *North* Main Street?'
Yes. Yes, apparently it does. Who'd have guessed?!?
One of the adorable little ladies led me by the hand to the proper precinct and made sure I was all set, and off I went to vote. Twenty-three years old, second time voting for president, and I still needed a monitor to make sure I did it right. I rock.
After I watched the Daily Show, I wished I could've snuck back in and done a couple write-in votes for Jon Stewart. And now, I am sitting around and waiting, and hoping for the best. :-)
