I'm not going to lie, I actually teared up when we heard the news that Virginia went blue. What a momentus moment (that sounds so silly) but it's so true. I've had butterflies the whole day and had to go for a run immediately after work so as not to stay glued on the couch watching CNN, MSNBC, PBS, etc.
The lines where I voted were not too bad. It was a little confusing because there were two lines. One to get the ballot, and one for a pen. Seriously. When you got your ballot it looked like there was another line to get in, so I got in it. As it turns out, if you were really in a hurry you didn't necessarily need to vote behind the booth, so long as you didn't mind everyone around you seeing what you were voting for. But the polling place only had like 5 of those felt-tip markers used for casting your vote! I got in at 7:30 and left by 8:20. Greg went after work and he was the only one in the polling booth!
I cannot go to bed and sleep peacefully. Prop 8 has not been decided yet and it's not looking good at this moment. I just pray that Californians support love and equality, not hate and fear.
