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...

Id rather not have the uniformed voting anyway.
Small town in Maine, no lines, no waiting. Paper ballots go into the wooden box with a lock on it. Four older ladies to check off names and coffee in the corner for refresment. I love small town living.

Saw Hillary and Bill voting on Fox news. She looked like she had just rolled out of bed. Hair was in disarray and her coat was very wrinkled.
