Early Voting
Record numbers are continuing for the early voting. Here in Washington County, they're averaging a steady 900 per day since Oct. 18th. Mike voted Saturday, and said there wasn't a line when he was there....though the clerk told him they'd been really busy earlier and it was picking up again by the time he left.
Good thing there wasn't a line because he took WildChild with him, because he thought the boy was old enough to start learning about such things. He said WildChild had a million questions about it all on the way up there, and that as they were heading up the stairs to the clerk's office WildChild proudly announced that he was going to vote too.
Mike replied, "Sorry son, but you're too short."
Which, he said, cracked the security guard up who was standing by the courthouse door.
That's the first instance of voter intimidation I've heard of, so at least things seem to be working pretty smoothly here.
I hope it stays that way.
