The girls and I went to breakfast this morning and then ventured on to the polling place. I was glad they were out of school today because I think they will remember this day for a long, long time. I know I will. I just had a few people in front of me to vote. They checked us in at one table, then you went to the second table to get your paper ballot or wait for a touch screen machine. I did the paper ballot because it looked like it was moving faster. We were in and out in about ten minutes, which was nice. I was voter #579. Thanks to Madison who documented this historic event. On our way out it fantastic to see a plane in the sky pulling an Obama logo and banner saying VOTE FOR CHANGE! On a side note, the girls had a mock election at school among the students and the teachers. The results? Obama won with 63% of the vote among the teachers and he also won with the students by 72%.
