Tomorrow is election day and

here are some of the people who have called me in the past week:
Laura Bush, John McCain, Pete Dominici, Heather Wilson, Bill Richardson and Martin Chavez. They are all calling to get me to vote for their candidate in the 1st NM district to the U.S. Congress. Heather Wilson made a recording for herself but I have not heard personally from Patricia Madrid. I already voted last week at an early voting site. The wait was two hours but I'm relieved to be done with it.
It will be interesting to see whether those of us who stood in line last week outsmarted ourselves: We were assuming the wait would be even longer tomorrow, but it will be funny if the polling places get everyone in and out more quickly. A good joke on us.

Comments:
We voted fast here - I was worried that the new -show your id- rule would be impossible. But it wasnt. Our vote count is being held up by last minute absentee voters. Everyone was told to vote absentee so they wouldnt have to show ID. So they did. Now it is taking forever to get those votes counted. I think the voting establishment is outsmarting itself. On the other hand, if we didnt have a legislature that came up with nutty rules (ID - essentially a poll tax) it would be faster and more accurate. One of us here thinks the whole thing is crooked. He must be from Cook County where the slogan is vote early and often.
