I just voted with my wife at our local polling place. It was a consolidated location, and there were a number of people voting. Some of the typical things that happen occurred in just the few minutes we were there, like poll workers chatting on their mobile phones while trying to help voters, and a voter who wasn’t properly instructed as to which ballot booths and vote recorders to use (they voided his ballot and asked him to vote again).

I’m about to head out with two of our students for poll watching. I have a guess that it is going to be a long day.
