Despite the early morning news about long voting lines, I just had my easiest voting experience ever. I’m wondering if it’s because I’m in a Republican leaning county (in a Democratic leaning state). It wasn’t my timing (just before 10 a.m. since that’s when I always vote).
NO ONE was in line ahead of me to vote. I got a great parking spot (probably because the weather is good. When it’s raining, I end up parking across the street in an unpaved, muddy lot) and NO ONE was in line ahead of me.
Oh, and I got to smooch the one other voter who was there as he headed out.

No lines by me either and I went about 7:50 AM. I was worried all the pre-work commuters would be at the polls trying to vote before hitting rush hour traffic, but either I missed them, they didn’t show up, or I was them. Not sure.

Ah, but now the important question: Did you get a sticker?
I didn’t.
I’m bitter.

No sticker. Fortunately I did not want Starbucks coffee, but a Krispy Kreme donut would have been nice.

DH didn’t get a sticker, but he still got his coffee from Starbucks, AND the woman at Starbucks took pity on him and gave him a Starbucks sticker.
