WOW! Our precinct is running out of ballots...in MA!
Hey y'all! :hi:

Our precinct in Quincy MA was down to their last 100 ballots at 2-something in the afternoon! :o

We were #s 756 and 757, respectively. Normally we're #s 100-something or less. w00t!

They were waiting for more ballots to arrive, before the after-work rush.

:woohoo:

2. My Nana told me she and my other Nana were in line at the lexington fire station
for over an hour, thankfully they could sit. She voted for "that one Dear".

3. I was # 501 @ 9:30am, average size Cape Cod town.
That's more than the days total in many elections.

9. I voted mid-day
in southeastern MA and the Ladies in Charge, who have been there since before I was a child, said they'd never seen so many people.
