This is the line that greeted Brent and me when we arrived to vote this morning. We waited in line for an hour to cast our ballots, easily the longest I've ever waited in line to vote (although nowhere near as long as many Americans are waiting today).Gil, a very good friend of mine, called me a short while ago and told me that his polling place down in the Castro ran out of ballots by 8:30am. Replacements arrived within the hour and he was able to vote, but 8:30am???
What the fuck?!
Below, another shot of our polling place, from our spot in line.
There were only five voting booths to handle the crowd at our polling place; so, in an effort to keep the lines moving, the judges permitted voters to sit on the floor of the fire station to fill out their ballots.Here is Brent, poppin' a squat as he filled in his votes on the forever-long San Francisco initiative ballot...
