Voting deception

Alan and I decided to do our patriotic duty and vote today. Boy were we deceived when we got into line to vote! We got to the elementary school that we were going to vote at and the line outside was maybe 30 feet long. So I decided that we didn't need the diaper bag or the stroller because it would be really quick. I did bring the snugglie and his blanket and got into line. Once we got into the school I realized that we had made a horrible mistake! The line inside when down the hallway and back before it went into the gymnasium. The hallway wasn't the short one either, it went the entire length of the school. 3 hours later we were in the short line to cast our vote and then out the door. I do have to say that nursing Alan in line with everyone looking at me was VERY strange. At least we don't have to do this again for another 4 years and next time we will be doing an absentee ballot, so we won't be standing in line.
