Reporting in from voting in Flint Township

The parking lot was full and there was a long line outside of my poling place, but not for my precinct. I was able to walk right in, but when the doors opened, my precinct had the long line. Timing, my friends, timing.

I was voter number 110. During the mid-terms, I've voted in the afternoon and the numbers hadn't quite broken 30, so the turn out is definitely up. We were getting a very light spritz of rain but the weather map now looks like it's clear, for the duration (hopefully).

And, yea, I got kind of teary eyed, when I left. I didn't think it would hit me, like that. Damn, I love being a Democrat!

And I think it is safe to say that any future he had planned, in politics, is now impossible.

The only way to get rid of the rest of the criminals is to vote in a Democrat, as Governor, and take back our legislature.

I hope to see SOME progress in that, tonight.
