54. I am one, lucky Democrat.

Oct 2014

I walk out my front door, turn left, walk 500 ft. to my polling station. Been that way since 2006 when I moved here. If I go before noon or between 2 and 5, there's hardly anyone. Macomb County is very blue. We have more than enough voting machines, optical scan type. I've never voted on any other kind. Only one year have I seen lines and that was 1992 at a different location. Took about an hour and a half.
