Like a drop of rain flowing to the ocean

I feel a bit like a cheerleader today but I expect I'll be pestering everyone who walks into the office with the question, "You've voted, right?" I'd love to see my comments section fill up with folks chiming in after they vote, if you've got details about how many people were in line or how long a wait, please add 'em! Now if only I had some pom-poms.

BTW, as promised, elo_sf here's the icon I was talking about:

I don't know how I'm going to focus at work today but I'm going to try, and I'm going to hold tight to my faith. After months of signing petitions, walking in marches, making donations, rabidly combing the internet for news and posting too damn much (yeah, I know, all of you on my political sublist are probably rolling your eyes and laughing, thanks for hanging in there through it) there's little else to be done but wait and see. In the meantime I'm glad I've got class and work to keep me occupied today.

Oh, I also have a new phone, an LG 4015 which is just too HAWT for words, but oh do I ever need better ringtones and a more personalized wallpaper. The tropical ones are ok but I'd much rather have a Hobbit or Remus on there gazing up at me every day. It's working basically today so I'll sit down and play with the personalization later.

And I got the giant project of DOOM done last night. Now I just need to wrap the sucker and that's that. I may do a quick kid's afghan for a coworker before I launch into a boucle afghan for myself, but I'm setting aside the sewing kit for a while and I cannot tell you how happy that makes me.

Yeah, as much as the election results, I am really really wanting to find out what the voter turnout is.

According to Pandagon (http://www.pandagon.net/), the following comes from CNN:

Ohio - African American precincts are performing at 106% what we expected, based on historical numbers. Hispanic precincts are at 144% what we expected. Precincts that went for Gore are turning out 8% higher then those that went Bush in 2000. Democratic base precincts are performing 15% higher than GOP base precincts.

Florida - Dem base precincts are performing 14% better than Bush base precincts. In precincts that went for Gore, they are doing 6% better than those that went for Bush. African American precincts at 109%, Hispanic precincts at 106%.

Pennsylvania - African American precincts at 102% of expectations, Hispanics at 136% of expectations. The Gore precincts are doing 4 percent better than bush precincts.

Michigan- Democratic base precincts are 8% better than GOP base states. Gore precincts are 5% better than Bush.
