"The most encouraging thing I've seen is the long lines of people who made sure they got to vote... this in a country that has low voter turnout for some time now... well you get scared enough, you take action." Sciencegeek
At music the other night I suggested that those "long lines" of people who persisted for hours just to get in their votes should have been provided purple ink they could dip their finger in and hold high, ala Afghanistan.
A very ladylike (not me!) musician added that they should have dipped their middle finger.
