some serious voting

I heard on the local news this morning that people who wanted to vote early could vote at one of the four largest branch libraries in Allen County starting today. I'm not ready to vote yet but I was pleased to know it could be that easy. Evidently so were many other people.  I stopped by the Dupont branch library about two o'clock this afternoon just looking for a book.  I was amazed at what I saw.  The parking lots were full and when I got inside I saw that the line of people waiting to vote wound its way from near the front of the building all the way back past the stacks.  As I was leaving after checking out I heard a conversation between one voter leaving as another was coming in.  The person coming in was told that the wait would be about 45 minutes.  I don't know if the situation was the same at other voting sites but I won't be surprised if we break all kinds of voting records for a primary this year. I guess people have strong feelings on this one. Thanks Donald.
