I HAD A GREAT DAY TODAY!!!!!!!!!!

I was a clerk for our first early voting day in New Mexico. We had as many people vote just today as we normally have in the entire two weeks of early voting. The voters I checked in were 10 Democrats to 1 rethug. I worked with a great crew of people today......it was a very long day...14 hours by the time we had the ballots all counted and numbers turned in to the main office....but I enjoyed EVERY minute of the day.

I enjoy meeting my neighbors who work the polls as well.....such a marvelous group of people to work with...and such happy voters today. I work every other early voting day with the same group as well as election day. On election day we are going to have a pot luck. We are one of a very few voting sites that gives us access to a kitchen.

... that it will be a landslide in Hillary's favor. I think there is something wrong with the institutional polling, and there might have to be some adjustments in terms of the statistics. Don't forget - Mitt was sure he was winning, and he was blowing it.

Really glad you are reporting this very good news.

Thank you for your service. Election workers can protect the vote far better than poll watchers
