Here We Go.

First polls are now closed. The counting begins.

Here was the ground game in Boulder today:



A group of High School kids who looked too young to vote were passing their lunch hour getting out the vote today.

All over town Obama's offices are bustling, people are wearing every manner of Obama Flair and despite record high numbers of early votes, polling places are seeing steady streams...



Having already voted, I went over to the county building today trying to get to the DMV--I'll be on crutches for a few weeks and was trying to pick up a hang-tag for my car. No luck. The Motor Vehicle office was closed. The whole building had been converted to manage voting. So while there were lots of people in and out (including a guy in purple pants, pink converse and a giant sombrero I would have loved a picture of), there was no backlog. They even had a "drive up ballot box" on the curb for folks who had received early/mail-in ballots and not yet returned them. Everywhere, it was the picture of efficiency. Hopefully we'll do right by those High School kids and they'll remember today when they get to vote in 2012.
