Just got back from voting in Kensington, Maryland. No line at all, to my surprise. Maybe that had something to do with the fact that it was 2 pm, and not prime time for the before-or-after-work crowd. Actually, the only time I have EVER had to wait at all here was in last spring's primary, when it took about 20 minutes. I've always been able to go at off-peak hours, since I had a peculiar schedule when I was working. Anyhow, I hope the lack of lines didn't mean low turnout.

One thing that surprised me was that there was no gaggle of people trying to thrust campaign literature at everyone approaching the building. In the past we've really had to fight through the throngs of pamphlet-people. This year there was just one table, and the lady asked if I'd like a sample ballot, which I didn't need. Don't know if the rules have changed about electioneering, or what. But I do like it better this way.

So if you haven't voted yet, DO IT!!
