Re: OT: VOTE GODDAMIT!!

[<thetoyroom@charter.net>]

yesterday at an early voting location in Los Angeles county.  Wow.  
thousands and thousands and thousands of people.  Never seen the likes...  
We got there an hour before voting opened and waited for almost 5 hours to 
vote.

the most bizarre thing was, that despite having to wait several hours to 
cast their vote, i didn't witness one single person have any sort of 
'meltdown'.  everyone was overwhelmed by what was happening, but they all 
took their wait in stride.
