Where we vote, first time voters received a shout out, applause, and cheers from all the workers.

My daughter was sooo embarrassed!

I thought it was great! No "I voted" stickers though When I talked to one of the workers, she estimated 5 times (at approx. 2:30pm) already had voted than voted during the primaries. That would have been around 400 people and the after work rush hadn't hit yet. I don't know how many people usually vote there, but when I signed in, there was only one more name on those two pages who needed to vote.

Very encouraging! Hard to judge around here though since NOBODY really has any yard signs - for local or national politicians. I think I've seen 2-3 for Romney and maybe 5-6 for Obama. The most I've seen is for our Gov. Markell (about a dozen in the UD neighborhood).
