I never understood the lines

When I lived in California, I never stood in line to vote. I just went, voted, and got on with the rest of my day.

Back before Oregon went entirely mail-in ballot, I didn't have to wait in line here, either.

But the first time I voted, in college in Indiana, I waited in line for a little over an hour. Never really understood why they didn't just have more precincts so voters wouldn't have to wait so much.

Regardless of whether you have to wait or not, get out there and vote, folks! And if you're on the west coast, and the media start calling the race before you've voted, get out there and do it anyway -- your vote does count!!

What college did you go to in Indiana? I'm from NW Indiana (by Chicago) and went to IU.

I went to Ball State. Studied philosophy. And beer. :)

You're from "the region", eh? Whereabouts?

Wow, familiar with "the Region." Impressive. I'm originally from Dyer but I currently live in Fort Lauderdale, FL.

Ball State is a great place to study beer...as is IU. Wonder if it's an Indiana thing. :-)

Beer and basketball...not much else to do in Indiana. :-)

I never heard about "the region" til I went to BSU. I had a good friend from Merrillville.
