There was no line and only a few of the boths had people in them. And alas, my vote to stop the amending of the state constitution was for not. Stupid do-gooders.

We'd moved the KE04 lawn sign there. Probably vandalism, but I can't say for sure. Certainly less serious than other incidents I've heard about against either side.

One police cruiser was stationed across the street all morning, and a second one cruised by slowly from time to time, while the officer inside stared at the line of people. The line was forced to stretch into the street, where garbage trucks rolled by just inches away. A county surveyor disrupted the line at one point, laying down markings that the county apparently decided had to be done right there and then. Quiet electioneering was common, with several people wearing buttons, stickers, and T-shirts for the locally-favored candidate (whose name starts with K). What looks like voter intimidation to some people looks like business as usual to others. At my polling place in Arlington, Virginia, I waited three full hours to vote.
