Being a first-time voter, I've been extremely curious for those that have already voted across the United States.
Now, don't get me wrong. I'm not looking for another debate over whomever was your favorite candidate and why, but simply your poll experience. How long did you wait? Did you even wait at all? What about the lines; the people; the atmosphere?
As for myself, the whole experience was quite surreal. Given that it had been raining to some degree throughout the day, I wasn't surprised to find only several people down at the station, and before long I was already at a table lined with several older women. They were all quite friendly, and simply couldn't stop raving about the fact that I was a first-time voter. I didn't even have to tell them either, probably because my face is like that of a young child on the verge of adolescence - but never mind that. After they catalogued me 'n stuff, they ushered me over to a meager ballot (which was directly facing those at the table, so only my diminutive self could only block the machine while I voted). Not that I had a problem, it only took me a second before I was finished. Afterward, they offered me a sticker and I was done!
So, to get to my own point: if you haven't voted yet (y'all probably have already tho), go now! If this complete loser who just turned eighteen seldom a week ago can do it, you sure as hell can. Unless you're like @Vosrik, stuck in Canada; doing Canadian stuff.
Canadian scum. Probably so smug as this election unfolds. Pffft.
