Election Eve

Tomorrow (Tuesday, November 3rd), is Election Day.

No.

Really.

It is.

I know that it's not a big Presidential election, but it is an election. I know for sure because I just spent a couple of hours tonight helping Christopher set up his precinct's polling place. You see, Christopher is one of the judges (or, rather, the head judge) in his polling place (technically, he's the Chair Judge). And this is the second year I've helped him set up.

We got out the little plastic voting booths. We set up the tables and arranged the extra chairs. And I put up the "How to vote" signs that are in English, Spanish, Hmong, Somali, and Russian.

Tomorrow Christopher will be in that room for somewhere over 14 hours (he has to be there at 6am, and the polls are open from 7am until 8pm), so the least the rest of us can do is go to the polls, stand in line for 5 minutes, and vote.

Right?

(FYI: The only appropriate answer is a solidly affirmative "RIGHT!")
