I got up this morning, turned on the news, and heard that there lines as long as 2 hour waits to vote today here in Chicago. So i got dressed put on my "vote" shirt that i made a few weeks ago , packed my ipod, a magazine, and set forth to vote for a chance.
I get there and it's at this jewish temple (which was beautiful btw) and i didn't wait more then 2 mins to vote. I did however have to fill out a ballot twice because i'm blonde and double voted on one of the fifty billion judges Chicago has up for re-election. and i was all excited to turn in my ballot and walk out with my "i voted today" sticker... and NOPE.. the lady looked at me like i was crazy asking for a sticker when i couldn't find any. Does Chicago not give out stickers? I'm depressed! i almost cried. The best part other then my civic duty... is wearing the sticker all day.. feeling all important. .. well damn. i'm gonna write to the city and tell them they need stickers!.. hell i'll write to obama when he's president.. he'd be interested in my complaint about stickers. hahaa!
i did snap a quick cell phone picture of my ballot ( which i don't know if it's illegal or not) but i felt all scandalis doing it and i do know the lady voting the the booth next to me heard the noise my phone made when the picture snapped. but whatever.. i have documentation of my fabulous vote....
but get out there today.. and vote.. for Obama or McCain i don't care.. vote! you do make a difference!
Gabe and I are having an election results party tonight and are looking forward to it. I'll upload some pictures from that as well soon..
over and out..
