I wouldn't be posting again today if it hadn't been for the extraordinary turnout at our polling place.....and at just 0605, barely time to open the doors. To set the stage, this is a small precinct in a rural township in a small, mostly rural county in downstate Illinois. The total numbers of registered voters I estimate at 5-600, no higher. In the 20 years we've voted there, I've never been at the polls with more than 3 or 4 other voters in attendance, and most of the time I vote at about the same hour- just after opening. Today there were 25-30 people ahead of us, took us about 15 minutes to get a ballot, and by that time the line snaked out of the building and down the sidewalk. Remarkable, considering the only critters likely to swell the ranks of voters in this area might be rabbits or whitetail deer.
Significance? Probably none.....
