Today's the Day

Voted.

(I love New York’s archaic voting machines; I hope they never replace them with something modern and electronic. There’s something about physically pulling that long lever and actually flipping little black switches by your candidates’ names. And then you get to pull the lever again, and it makes this great, final, solid, thumping sound. I love that sound.)

Now all that’s left is the waiting. Followed by the either the glee/running around in excited circles/joyful shrieking/(now what?) or the (please, no) horror/rage/disbelief/despair/(fleeing? rioting?).

So if you have lucky underwear, socks, or hats, today’s the day. I’m trying for zen at this point, but yeah, right.

Each state has its own methodology (see post above re paper voting). But it is one of the many reasons why I like my adopted state. We have cool, old, mechanical machines! (They originate from the late 19th century.)

That's still so cool, maybe one day here in Aus we'll get upgraded to the 19th century! *G*
