We voted at an apartment complex. I feel like we were one of the few that waited until election day to vote. I was impressed with all of the early voters. Way to be Americans.
We found out that Ben and Jerry's and Starbucks gave out free election day ice cream and hot chocolate respectively (Starbucks did not happily give hot chocolate in lieu of coffee, but we asked nicely). Luckily for us, the two establishments stood side by side and we got great parking.
It was a snowy night in Salt Lake City, and Sarah braved the cold pajama clad with just a little shivering.
Here we are with our yogurt 'ice cream' (thank you, Andrew, for standing in line the snow) and cup of dark hot chocolate.
I felt deeply about our freedom to vote today. I am glad that I did. My only sadness was that I did not study up on the judges like I should. I felt blind in that area. They have so much power to change laws. I will be better in the future.

Thanks for the fun Election Day Date! Let's make it a tradition!
Looks like you had a lot of fun, I'll have to remember the free treats next election day!
I ditto Andrew's first paragraph. A little nervous about it all, but am looking forward to some changes.
I vote absentee, and I only realized yesterday that I miss them saying my full name with "has voted" after putting in my ballot. I'd forgotten about it, but I think it's really cool.
