Waiting at the polls

It took nearly 2 and a half hours for me to vote today, but I am glad I participated in this historic election. My experience was a bit different that Chris's. I was--for lack of a better word--verklempt throughout most of it as a number of seniors struggled to make their way to the voting booths and talked about how proud they were to vote and didn't mind standing. Just hearing how excited people were and also how they thought long lines were a sign that Americans were taking this seriously. It was really a nice patriotic moment.
