sub_dividedI waited in line for an hour this morning to cast my vote, but only because I wasn't sure of my voting district. After learning it was #29, I was able to cut ahead of all of the people waiting in line for #4, which is the district of our township's public housing project. The line for Grove residents went all the way around the block (ETC at 6:30am: two hours), while my line was barely ten feet (ETC at 7:30am: 10 minutes). I felt like one of those people who pays to be in the express lane at airports, except that I hadn't paid anything.
Hooray for two-tier democracy? At least it wasn't cold, and everyone was giddy, in a celebatory mood. Actually there were at least a few people -- or more than a few -- who were happy to trade convenience for the feeling of being a part of something really big.
