I went to vote.  6:30 am.  Usually it’s a walk-in-walk-out kind of experience.  Today, we were turned away from the polls.  The machines were not working.  Only 50 paper ballots, and there were already 200 in line.

The county I live in went, unusually, for President Obama during the last election.

And this is very much a swing state.

Will try again later, and will stay in line until I vote.

Perhaps I should bring a chair.
