Claudia and I went to vote and got to Pilgrim Congregational at twenty minutes before the polls opened at 7AM. The heavy fog from yesterday had completely cleared and the temperature only required a light jacket.
We chatted with friends until the voting began. There were twice as many election officials as usual and I put my ballot in the counting machine by 7:07. The machine registered me as voter 23 for our precinct. We had time to go home and read the paper and finish our coffee before Claudia had to go off to work.
I had given my daughter a call last night to remind her to vote. She planned to do so early this morning too and take her year-old son with her to the polls – probably for his advice.
