Just home from 9-4 at Little Earth. Great turn out. Both my husband and I had to wait for a voting booth. As of 10:20 am, 186 folks had voted. A steady trickle of folks arriving to vote. This is a good turn out for this part of town. Outside the polls there was 1 legal observer, 2 folks from MAPA, and 1 from MoveOn.Org.
Lots of lit at our home, only 1 door knocker this morning (2 yesterday). As others have noted, countless phone calls.
