We voted. I was--get this--voter #270 in my precinct.


Did you? It matters. And if you have voted, wear your sticker--I got stopped on the way to the train by a woman who was considering voting who was worried about the length of the wait. I think I managed to convince her to take the time.


****And a note for Fox News: I know my baby has an "I Voted" sticker. This is not a sign of voter fraud. Do not begin running special reports about voter fraud in Minnesota. Her little kitty also wore the sticker for a bit. Minnesota has also not started to allow stuffed animals to vote. Just in case you were confused. I know you find these things confusing.

also, you were in line before the polls opened before work right? I went about ten here and i was 626!

We got in line *as* the polls opened. And I was already 270.

Huh. I was there half an hour after they opened and was #45 or something. . . Neighborhoods must be a little different.

Oh, and Yay!

Um, ya think? I live in South Minneapolis! And Ellison's district, so a motivated electorate.

Sadly, I see Bachman won? Sigh.

Unfortunately, she lives in a crazy-conservative district. BUT. At least she will be part of a minority party with seriously no power. They can shut her right down. And I bet they will.
