VOTER DETERMINATION
(Wednesday) Our son Kirk voted for the first time yesterday (Hopefully he wasn't the one who canceled out MY vote). The line was really long in the morning so he went back to the polling place at a bit after 7 p.m. -- and it was still long. He waited for over an hour to vote! He said there was still a line after he left and apparently they extended the polling hours.

The amazing thing is that he hadn't received any voter information in the mail. He just showed up at the only polling station on campus hoping his name was on the list of registered voters. He had problems registering in the past. -- but this time he got to vote.

In the Turlock area voting was so heavy that some polling places ran out of ballots. There were 900 visitors to the polling station that was in the entry way of our church building.

People were definitely into the election.
