2. Don't know how I appear to other folks when I'm out and about.

We were there for maybe fifteen minutes from start to finish. Wednesday afternoon, really horrible conditions (ice, I fell on my ass walking the dogs in my sneakers this morning. Stupid!) and there was always a line of one or two people waiting to vote. The entire time I was there. Maybe 4 of us filling out the paperwork to get your ballot.

So I look around, and try to guess who my allies are in the room. It’s tough. A couple of vets were there, a couple of women in their 60s, and my wife and I Can’t tell how people are voting by how they look, but this is a blue dot in the red state.

I’d love no more astonished feeling than awakening on Wednesday to find my states paltry 3 electoral votes go to Harris. Not gonna happen, but it’s still fun to think about from time to time.

While I know how they identify the trends up here I also know that there’s a ton of us up here who identify as “undecided”. I wonder how many of those sent in their votes early?
