"Voting"

Yesterday was Super Tuesday, I had a plan on going to vote when Drew got home from work, I made my way to the elementry school where we have always voted, no one was there, empty, so I had to do some invastagating on where we were suposed to go and vote. It ends up at a school on the other side of town. By the time I get there, the parkinglots were full and the streets were packed with parked cars... I headed inside, where I saw my whole ward in line. I stoped and talked to a few families they have all said they have been there for more than two hours and they were not even half way to the front... I however, made my way to the back of the line winding threw all the halls of the school. I saw a lot of people leave. I guess only two machienes were working so it was pointless to be in line at 7pm and expect to get out before 9pm. I stood in line for an hour and it literally did not move. So I decited to just leave. I guess they were down to one machiene. a lot of people were angry, I really didn't care, I was out of the house, and drew was with the kids, I was fine. I did not stay to vote, I was sick of standing there, I made it home just intime to tuck Anson into bed and we watched the news on who voted what. So I gave it a try, but didn't make it..... oh well....
