heidiIt's quiet here now, but the line is amazingly long.
When I arrived, along with another lawyer from the campaign, they wouldn't let us in - some issue about them not having our names on the lst that had been submitted two weeks ago - and the clerk threatened to call the police if I was upset. Not a nice or sane thing to say to pregnant!woman. She also threatened to have us removed if we spoke to the people in line. Two voters waiting in line whipped out their cellphones to call the cops to have us arrested, as well, which was very scary. Finally, at about 710, 45 minutes after I'd arrived, the clerk came back and said we could go in - she'd gotten our names confirmed with someone who had a clue at the supervisor's office. The first person she'd spoken to was an idiot.
So now I'm inside with my cashews & water bottle, and I don't think I'm going to end the day in jail. The line is long but people are patient and the room itself is a nice temperature.
Wishing you all the best of the day - good weather, no harrassment and an easy experience.
More later if anything is interesting.
