Voting
We walked over to our polling station at 7:15 this morning and passed some neighbors on their way home. When we arrived the line inside the building was huge, ten times longer than we’ve every experienced. People were quiet, most of us hadn’t even had coffee yet, but anticipation hung in the air like a sweet perfume. Someone said there were 50 people waiting outside to vote at six this morning, an hour before the polls opened and there’s never been any doubt that Massachusetts will go Democratic. Tonight there will be tears—of joy. For now, here’s a picture of what it looked like in one polling station in Boston.
Have to say I slept like a baby last night. Trusting that is a good sign.
