Courtesy of early voting, I was finally able to exercise my right to vote for a president of the United States for the first time in my life today.
It was surprisingly hassle-free on all fronts. Finding parking was the most difficult part of the process, and it was ony a matter of minutes before someone left the polling place after voting and drove away, leaving me her spot. I brought a book and some lunch along with me, which kept me busy while waiting in line for a while. Best of all, I didn't experience any hassles with the voting equipment (although I wish I could be certain that a techie screw-up wouldn't fudge or alter my vote).
And, to top it off, my favorite local comic book store was near the polling station, so I stopped by after I was done and got some decent stuff.
All in all, it was a hassle free experience.
