Ok, I read my cousin (Mylinda's) blog, and she recounted her experience of voting in Miami, FL. It went pretty smooth, from what I read.
Now I am going to share my voting experience. I have voted several times and it is not new to me. However voting in a different state is. I must admit, that voting in NC was by far the easiest and best voting experience I have ever had, even with this elections historical significance. Mylinda, this is where living in a small town really counts.
I dropped Austin off this morning at his Grandma's around 7:30am and left at 7:40am. Drove over to the polls (at a local baptist church) and arrived at 7:48am. Walked in, where I was informed there are no lines and I was also handed a pamphlet and asked to pray for the world. Gave my name to the lady at the A-K table, she gave me a form that I handed to another lady and I was then handed a ballot. It took all of 2 minutes to fill out. I was then (get this Mylinda!) offered hot coffee; decaf or regular and/or a bottled water and....a piece of coffee cake. I love small town America! I left the polls at 7:55am and was in to work on time with 15 minutes to spare. Woo Hoo!
Now here is my PSA, voting is so important. Americans are very privileged, in the fact that we can vote for our country's leaders. If you can vote please do, it is your right and duty. In closing I will say this, I hope the best man for this job will be elected and he will be a father to this country.
Happy voting Y'all!

I feel like you should have signed off with "I'm Jamie Cowles and I approve this message." :)
lol to Lauren's comment.
Ok, so I'm officially jealous! What a great experience.
Great blog, Jamie. You are so-o-o right about the importance of voting. (You are also right about voting in a NC small town. It's great.) If you ever need an ammo for people who don't think their vote will count, just let me know and I'll give you my "The value of one vote" lecture.
later, Aunt Karleene
