Election Day

Eligibility established
Longing for public service
Electioneering
Closing arguments
Turning out the vote
Initiating change
Opening the polls
Never acting tired and worn-out

Drive to the polling place
Awaiting in line to vote
Yes! Civic duty discharged

I was glad and lucky to vote the Friday before Election Day, avoiding a line.

I was in line about 20 minutes, I think. It moved pretty steadily.

That's exactly how I feel, Mike. Happy Wednesday to you, too.
