We voted

Chris and I went to an early voting site in Clayton this morning and cast our ballots. (Jake voted earlier in the week.) I think early voting is a wonderful development. I am glad to do my civic duty any time, but I'd rather vote on a Saturday when I am off than on a Tuesday when I need to get to work. We had to wait in line this morning, but the line moved pretty fast. We were in and out in less than an hour. Plus, because we went together, we had someone to talk to. That made the time pass faster.

Still, I will be on pins and needles until I see how the race between Barack Obama and John McCain comes out. We have some interesting races here in North Carolina, too. Beverly Perdue could become the first female governor in the state, and Elizabeth Dole could lose her U.S. Senate seat. I almost feel like volunteering to work Election Night, but I'd rather be home watching the returns on TV with Chris.
