My Wonderful Morning

In light of a recent article from the New York Times about this morning's turnout and early morning waiting, I decided to share some pictures (which i took on my Blackberry so sorry for the bad quality) and my experience from this morning:

I woke up at 5:30 and arrived at the Robert F. Kennedy school this morning at approximately 6:15am.

I was first put on a line in order to enter the room (this took under 5 minutes so I thought I was in good shape)


We then entered the large elementary school gym which looked more like a mosh pit. Lines were weaving in and out of each other and people were walking through traffic from end to end without any real direction.


I waited on the line for around an hour until finally arriving at the booth to vote (I later found out that the reason that our line took so much longer then everyone else's was because it was not only the longest, but the woman at the front who was checking our ID's forgot her glasses and couldn't read anything. Interestingly her tag said that she was a "Republican Volunteer" [Hm...is this a potential conspiracy, seeing as we said in class that longer waits could possibly hurt the Democrats more then the Republicans?]

After finally voting and making my way out of the gym, it was 7:50am.

Hey it could've been worse I guess, at least we have the amazing (and rare) right to vote for those who lead us.
