It's all in the timing
(Category:
Politics - Humor's Last Refuge

Waiting time to vote this morning was close to two hours. Later in the day it was still an hour plus. I left work at 4:30 and got to my polling location at 5:15 (did I tell you that I'm a commuter now? Yay).
No line. None. I was in and out in just a couple of minutes. The handful of people there with me were laughing and joking, their fear of a lengthy wait dissipated and leaving them lighthearted and lightheaded.
I'm assuming there was a lot of lightheadedness in the 4th Congressional district where they elected the shame of Georgia Cynthia McKinney again.
The moral of the story? Procrastination pays.
Got a minute? Why not stop by the Flying Space Monkey's totally unscientific but still relatively impartial exit poll?

Took me all of 5 minutes to vote just down the road in Grayson at 4:30. Even got in some rare exercise, walked the half-mile from home to the polling place. Had to walk off all that purloined Halloween candy, somehow...
