I Just Voted
Well, I just got back from voting. I’ve been waiting quite a while for this day to come and the last few days sort of flew by for me. In the previous two elections, our local polling place has been at a car dealership. So when you vote, you can drool over the nice cars. They moved to a new location this past year, however, so the new polling location was in the lobby of a new Best Western hotel.
I have to admit that they didn’t do a good job in selecting the location because the small room is VERY small. No more than 15 people can fit in it to be honest. South Beloit is admittedly a small town, but come 5 or 6pm, there’s going to be a huge line of people, likely extending outside. I don’t think the election officials made a wise choice with their selection of the hotel, or at least the particular room.
The poles were just extremely busy because of the overwhelming turnout, which I guess is a good thing. Anyway. The poling place for me was also small; it being a small town fire department. I was surprised with the line out the door 😉
