My voting precinct made the national news! We had some malfunctions with the machines, but even before that occurred the wait was 3+ hours... in the rain... to cast a ballot. They finally re-routed the lines inside, wrapped around the gymnasium wall and down a long hallway.
A member of our State House of Delegates was working the lines, not working the polls, but working the lines. Greeting and grinning and kissing babies inside the polling place, 10 feet from the machines. He was wearing a ball cap supporting the candidate of his choice. Our state voting regulations prohibit the wearing of campaign apparel within a certain distance of the polling place. When someone asked him about it he said, "I'm not campaigning, I'm just wearing a hat." Right.
Can't wait for the results!
