I voted at Pershing High School today. Everybody was there from the barely 18 year old, first time voting group, all the way up to senior citizens. Plus everyone in between. It took nearly two hours for me to get through the line. I got there at about 10:15 AM and by the time I was done voting, it was 12:00 noon. The senior citizens, my parents included, got to go straight to the front of the line so they wouldn't have to stand in the long line. Lucky them! After voting, I went and got something to eat. I passed by Van Zile Elementary School, another polling place, and there were about 200 cars parked in front of the school. So in all my years of voting, this is the largest voter turn out I've ever seen. In past elections, it took me no longer than 20 minutes to vote but today was nearly two hours.
