(Wish it had come out differently, but we did out part in Massachusetts.)

This last person was a Republican poll worker. I talked to here after voting. I was looking around for shots outside the school where I voted. She didn't want to stand to close to the Democrats, I guess, so she was down the driveway. It started off pretty friendly and she let me take this picture. But once we established that we were on the other side of enough diferent issues, she didn't want me to take any more pictures. Too bad, because she had become very intense looking at that point and would have made a better subject, more emblematic of this election.
If not now, when?

    They're all smiling, they must be Bush supporters, or they believed those exit polls.

    Great shots, really captured the mood of the place. Nice job.

    I thought about taking my camera, decided the potential hassle might not be worth it. Nice pics.

    Well, I did mine. The only thing I "got" was the sales tax I asked for: green spaces, buses (essential), and roads.

    Everything else............ at least I didn't have to wait in line. (I thought that was probably bad right there)

    Doctor It, love your "little" polling place. Rutt love your people.

    (Didn't think there would be humor at the polling place.........I was right. And I thought like Sid, if the line weren't around the block, no way I was going to get it inside.)
    After all is said and done, it is the sweet tea.
