we are who we've been waiting for.

This morning, I voted for Barack Obama and Joe Biden.

FUCK YEAH. \o/

It's too early to wax poetic, so you'll have to settle for an emphatic expletive, lol. I'm sure I'll have something more worthwhile after I've flooded my insides with coffee.

A couple photos:


This was the line to get into our polling place. My mom and I arrived at 6:50am knowing that we'd be in for a long wait. We were let inside promptly at 7:00am...and that's pretty much the last thing to go smoothly, lol. The ballot machines weren't working and the markers were out of ink and they were low on ballot folders and OMFG. All of this, along with the 33 referendum questions on my town's ballot, slowed the process significantly. Still, we were back in the car less than an hour later, so it wasn't all THAT bad.

And I got my sticker!

I'm thankful there were only five statewide constitutional proposals and one local levy to wade through on our ballot. But my location didn't have stickers. :(

I don't drink coffee, but way to screw me out of my hypothetical Starbucks!

No stickers in my location either. :( :(

Why does the US seem to have so many issues everytime there is an election? Anytime I've voted in Canada I've been in and out in about 10 minutes. Of course we only have to cast 1 vote and we use a pencil and piece of paper, so no tricky machines, haha.

YAY VOTING! And yay for Obama/Biden. I'm so incredibly nervous, you wouldn't even believe. Did you get free Starbucks coffee?
