I fulfilled my citizen’s duty today and voted.
I went to the voting booth around 8:20 a.m. and may have waited in line about 20 minutes or so. Time flew though, as I gabbed with Maggie from the Pep Grill – a neighbor I never knew I had.
It was almost an emotional experience. The *hot*-ness of this election has driven so many to the voting booth for the first time. I watched people of all shapes and sizes, ethnicities and classes stand in line together for a common goal.
Even if our views are not all the same, so many people recognize the importance of this election and the value of participating in the vote.
Tonight, I am heading downtown to cover locals’ reactions as the results pour in. Read on to see where.
I will be at Noma with the Democratic supporters, PA Victory ’04. The group will be bringing in a projection television set to watch the conclusion of the election.
The Young Republicans never returned my emails, so I’m going to cruise over to Scott’s Grille and the Italian-American Club, where I expect I’ll find some right-wing-ers.
Email me if you know of any other spots where young folks may be watching the 2004 election results.
