Time to vote. Finally!

Voted today. Line was out the building, around the corner and down Columbia Pike. All told, took about an hour.

Some observations:
• No I Voted stickers (boo!)
• Though good intentioned, people have varying ideas of what 6 feet apart means.
• Everyone was wearing masks (yay!)

Evolution of my voting plans: Requested an absentee ballot back in April or May, thinking there was no way I was going to vote in person during a pandemic. With the USPS issues, decided I would drop my absentee ballot in a drop box. Then realized I wanted my vote to be accounted for on Election Day so decided in person early voting was it. Swung by on Monday, but the line was even longer so decided to try again later in the week. Very glad that Virginia gives us lots of options, almost like they want us to vote!

Voting really does my civic heart good. Today felt big and oh so important. More so than usual.

Voting, like mask wearing and social distancing, are ways that we can come together as a community and do something for the larger good.

🗳🗳 So let’s do this thing. VOTE! 🗳 🗳
