Voted in Oklahoma this morning.

We got there at 6:30 and there was already a line all the way around the building (Northwest Baptist Church). We got in line, met some nice people, had a good conversation (no politics). Voted, walked out the door to our car at 8 a.m. Not so bad. It does look like it might rain here though.

A few Trump supporters began to talk politics inside the building and one of the poll workers got up and made them stop. They said it was the first time they had voted and didn't know the rules. They were nice, but clearly irritated.

I can't explain what it felt like voting for a woman for the highest office in the land. I could feel my Mom with me at that moment, made me cry.

I will spend the rest of the day giving people rides to the polls.
