It was a long day. As usual I got sick and boy am I sore.

Up at 0300, got to bed at 2300. But it was a good election.

My precinct had a 70.6% turn out and that is not counting the absentee/early voting. A fantastic turn out.

I had a great team and they kept the line moving. For the first four hours, the line was out of the building and to the parking lot. But my team was able to keep the waiting down to 15-20 minutes.

This was the first election with the new Virginia Voter ID law and I was expecting some protests. Not at all. All the voters were decent and polite.

Very tiring day but afterwards so very worth it. In my tiny way, in my tiny precinct, we helped democracy work.

I had a great team.
