For the first time ever, I had to wait in line for more than 5 minutes to vote.

The polls opened at 7:00 AM today, and we arrived at 7:05 AM.

After waiting 15 minutes in line to get a ballot, and then another 15 after filling it out to put it in the single Diebold AccuScan reader, I was the 71st vote in my precinct at 7:46 AM.

I voted for every Democrat on the ticket except for anti-gay bigot Robert Creedon, who was running unopposed for Plymouth County Clerk of Courts.

And then I shed some of my blood taking down a wooden anti-Obama sign that was left as abandoned property above a freeway.
