My voting experience was quick and easy. I think I spent more time confirming my ballot was marked correctly than I spent waiting in line. I guess going at 8 in the morning will do that for you. Plus, there really has never been much of a line where I vote in Upper Darby... don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing. But this morning there was 4 people in line... shocker!
I wasn't expecting it, but the historical significance of the moment totally overwhelmed me, and I will admit that I got something in both of my eyes when I voted for Barack Obama.
I'll admit it, I was a little verklempt. To top it off, as I came out of the polling place... Here Comes the Sun by The Beatles came on my iPod... NO LIE!! It felt like I couldn't have scripted it any better.
I've voted in every election since 1988, and this is the first time in 8 years I've ever felt genuinely hopeful when I cast my ballot, instead of resigned. I was elated!
Have you voted? Feel free to share your experience if you like.
