H’s Curve waited only 3 hours this morning to firmly ensconce itself among the participants in this day’s historic event. Even though the sky was cloud and threatening to rain, no one planned to move from the line without first casting their vote.
Early on, there was an elderly lady behind me in line. Precinct officials were going up and down the line offering to lead the elderly up front so that they would not have to endure what was clearly going to be a long wait. When she was asked, she declined the offer, adding, “I’ve waited a long time for this, so no thank you, I’ll wait here in line.” I haven’t waited nearly as long as she has to participate in an historic election, but I sure felt the same way as I waited patiently to cast my vote.
