I’m a bartender and last night one of my customers asked if I was going to the local Democrats party tonight. Another Trump-loving customer piped up, “You’re not going to have anything to celebrate!”. 🖕🖕🖕

Voted! DH and I ran down without the girls to vote and there was steady traffic, but no wait. We always bring the girls, but this once we went without. We were like the only people voting without kids in tow. Felt strange. Need to work on my selfie game.

I voted this morning! My district is gerrymandered af so I have to drive to the opposite end of the county to do it, but I’m glad I went before work so nothing can come up to prevent me from it.
My county usually goes very red but I’m hoping VA will come to its senses and be blue. There are some super important issues locally that need fresh ideas on our BoS but this is the land of good old boys so I’m not super optimistic about my candidate’s chances in the local race.

How does everyone know what voter number they were? I didn't know you could find that out....

My polling place was pretty empty this morning. I think it usually picks up after work, though.
But, again, my county will be the fugly red dot below all of y'all's blue ones, so, don't mind my neighbors.

It was surprising busy at my voting location at 8:15. I guess that's good?

I was pretty surprised by how busy our polling place was when we went to vote at 6:30am. I was too excited about taking Lugnut for the first time to notice what number I was. #nerdfail
Also, the Democratic HOD candidate for my distract was at my polling place greeting people as they walked in. I thought that was pretty cool. She lives in our neighborhood, and previously came by our house to stump.

I saw a family with a toddler leaving our location as we drove up and commented to H how excited I am to take our kid voting with us next year.

Kaye Kory was at our canvass event on Sunday and she was completely taken with S2. She's very nice, and seems really great on the big issues so if you're in her district, please consider voting for her!

Virginia friends, please remind people that you only have to be IN LINE before the polls close. As long as you are in line by 7, they have to let you vote. We spoke with so many people this weekend who are working two jobs and were concerned that they couldn't get to the polls.

Our polls open at 8 so I'll grab C and go after work. Shes excited but wanted to know why we arent voting at her school. She doesnt attend the neighborhood school. I was like look I'm too tired to explain polling locations and districts etc. We'll get into that when you're older.

Makes sense.

I didn't have time to get a selfie with Lugnut this morning. If she manages not to throw up on her outfit today, I'll get one with her when I get home.

I’ll be here anxiously biting my nails tonight! I did some calling for NARAL and the responses were very positive. I had wanted to do more (canvassing and such) but this pregnancy is kicking my ass. There’s no voting for us today but so proud of all our VA friends showing up.
