And the Line Went Around the Corner

My voter sticker fell off soon after this picture was taken, so this is the only record of Buttercup and sticker together. 

This was the twelfth presidential election I've voted in. The first was absentee when I was in graduate school and the other eleven have been in New York City. There have been some long lines, including 2012 when new voting machines were installed in New York and I waited an hour, but I've never seen what I saw today. The line to vote stretched around the corner.
 

This was the scene that greeted me as I walked to my polling place. I vote at a public school and the entrance is more than half way up the block. The line began to the right of the bus. 

The line turned around the corner...

...and went up the block.

 



The PTA held a bake sale and the theme was red, white and blue. 

Now we wait. We all have our opinions, including me. But you won't see them in Buttercupland. This is the place where everyone is welcome, whether you vote red or you vote blue.  All I'm asking is that you vote.  

 

As ever, thanks for visiting. Take good care and vote!
