Speed Voting
I voted in 15 minutes this morning. That included getting to and from my polling place. But since I do vote in a ward that is at capacity turn out in most elections anyway, we didn't have to worry about a machine shortage. And I got photographed walking in the door, so I'll have to see if I make it into the Sun. But not exit polled. I think pundits already know how my voting ward is going to go (though we do have a Republican family living across the street, so maybe that one family could sway the whole election), so they don't even bother asking.

Today was my first experience voting 1. for real, and 2. in a city. My polling place only had one working voting booth until 11 a.m. today, so morning voters had to go one at a time. Also, there were no exit pollsters or crazy sign people, because the minimum distance from the entrance would put you in the middle of a busy city street. It was still very exciting, though, and I am pretty sure that the people who left because they could not wait anymore will not affect the outcome in my inner-city Baltimore voting ward/In the state of Maryland in general
