D-Day

[mallorys_camera]

There was a Bulbosaur in my voting booth.

Really, really long lines at my polling place at 6 o’clock this morning. And cold: I could see my breath.

You wouldn’t necessarily know it from reading this LJ, but I generally tend to hold my own counsel in what we laughingly refer to as “real” life. There are very few people I’ll discuss politics with. The subject is just too freighted. Thus several casual acquaintances separately signed me up for something called “Pantsuit Nation,” a Facebook group devoted to Hillary Clinton hagiography.

Ick on a stick.

Shortly, I’m heading west to spend Election Night with my XHusband.

Won’t Nate Silver and his cronies be surprised when Gary Johnson is elected the 45th President of the United States!

Heh, heh, heh.

It is cold here so I am sure it's freezing in NY. There was a line at 6:30am but it only took about 30 mins to vote. LJ is the only place any rationale person can talk politics these days LOL. I don't know about you but I am ready for some "Shahs of Sunset" commentary.

Oh, me too! Did you know that Asa and Jermaine are pregnant?????

No I did not! This should be a very entertaining season.

There was a sprinkle right as I was heading to the polls here in Chicago but it's since cleared up. The weather is bright and mild, so it should be good turnout. Some of my friends were complaining of lines so I left plenty of time but the wait was no longer than usual at my polling place--only a few minutes.

I've got an election results party to go to later but I'm not sure how long I'll be there. I suspect that the worse the early results look, the more I'll want company. But if they call Florida early I may just head to bed.

Posting a picture of your instructions! LOL Smarter than Eric Trump who posted a picture of his completed ballot - which is illegal in NY.

Also, Pantsuit Nation... um, no. I voted for Clinton but I could never join anything so corny. Cats in Pantsuits Nation, however, I'd be in.

The Millennials are going to need a trigger warning on these election results.

Some analysts are blaming the Millennials:

Eh, I prefer to blame the people who voted for the jackass.
