When you know you take voting seriously

[ckd]

When you're the 22nd (hr_macgirl) and 23rd (me) people to vote in your precinct, at 1830. (Polls closed at 2000.)

Special election to fill a vacant seat; the only actual race was in the Democratic primary, and so there was only one candidate on the ballot (plus the write-in line).

It was amusing to see how happy the poll workers were to see us, though.

I was the 28th to vote at our polling station yesterday for the election... and my housemate #27. And this was at around 6:30 or so as well.

But I wanted to keep my record of not missing a single election, special election or primary in the City... because there's only a very tiny number of voters who can claim such on the rolls who have made every single one for the past 10 years.

I've voted in every election I've been eligible for, even to the point of having two nurses take me in one of their cars with a wheelchair and two IV poles when I was in the hospital with the first renal failure. If I'd had any idea I'd be in for nine months, I would have arranged an absentee ballot. As it was, I got out to vote. (And the folks in line were very nice and let us go to the front.)
