Quinn is for Obama!

Who knew there were so many people running for president?

Outside the Polling Place, North Center, Chicago

Yesterday I went with Jen, Chad and Quinn to vote early. This week and next are going to be really busy for me, so I just wanted to get it out of the way. Dallas votes absentee to Hawaii, so he missed out on the fun.

We went to the Welles Park field house. The wait was about 45 minutes and we didn’t know if Quinn would make it. Luckily we had a bag of goldfish crackers and a man who worked at the polling place was handing out suckers so we could keep him occupied with that. Quinn managed to keep it together, only starting to really fuss at the end when we were actually voting. I bet everyone liked that!

The voting machines were these really nice touch screens so you just touched who you wanted to vote for and then pressed “Next.” At the end you got to review your selection and then just press a button to cast your vote. So much better than filling in the black line with a pen or doing the punch thing.
