Chilly fog here in suburban Maryland this morning at a moderately heavy democratric precinct. I got there about 7:30, standing behind 'Adam & Eve Steve'. About 50+ people in line (Mostly Democratic poll workers). I got in and out, voting 99% GOP; alot of people were taking their time, not sure why.

Of Note: I did not see as many 'people of color' as I usually see voting. When I left, the line was quite short, and spaces in the parking lot had really opened up. Seems to be lighter than I thought it would be.

I voted at 6am this morning here in beautiful downtown Chappaqua. I was #10, but those before me were the poll workers. I jogged the 4 miles up and back to avoid the later confusion, and media when the Clintons descend on Grafflin school. But after, I was doing a bunch of errands around down..breakfast, bank, dry cleaners, supermarket..and each place I cheerfully asked people if they had voted..maybe 20-25 all told..Predominately younger people, under 30, I'd guesstimate, and what really surprised me..in addition to the usual responses of "I've voted" or "I'll go after work," at least HALF told me that they "don't vote", they're "not political", they don't "follow all that political stuff." I was, and still am, astonished...
