Voting at the Houston County Farm Center

I voted around 10:45 this morning at the Farm Center. There were only four people in front of me. However, that wasn’t the case earlier in the morning. One of the poll workers told me the line stretched out the door to the Cottonwood Highway. “It was terrible,“ he said. I replied, “No, that’s actually great. People are getting out and voting.“ I knew he didn’t mean it was terrible that many people were voting, it was just a terribly long line. We laughed about it.

Everyone’s ID was being checked and everything went smoothly. I was No. 408 in the P-Z line. It was great seeing people getting out to vote today, including a fellow Eagle employee.

BTW, I hear Starbucks is giving away free coffee to people who vote today. We’re gathering a group from the Eagle to go get our java fix. We’ll need it for tonight.
