Oh Ohio!

There was just a news story about the people waiting in line to vote in Ohio. There have been long lines all day long...they say right now that the wait in some polling places is in excess of 3 or 4 hours.

On one side...that is horrible since voting should not be a painful or frustrating experience. I hope that people don't get fed up and leave...or need to leave in order to return to the other responsibilities in their lives.

But on the other side...what a great turnout of the voters. In Ohio, it definitely isn't showing anything related to voter apathy. There may be people still waiting to vote in Ohio when midnight rolls around.

I think the turnout of people in this election...no matter the outcome needs to be celebrated. We might actually be able to champion democracy at the end of this night...I hope!
