Poll to the Pollsters

Here’s a question to all you avid election results watchers in Spokane County, Washington – Do you miss being able to go to the polls?

I have been watching the Idaho blog (Huckleberries) with a little jealousy. They were able to go to the polls and vote. And they are getting their results pretty quickly – although they have a fair number of mail-in ballots.

Washington has made this a county-by-county decision (whether or not to go entirely to mail-in ballots). So – the big issue between Rossi and Murray will not truly be decided for DAYS. Mailing in your ballot is convenient – but is it satisfying?

Personally, after all the free-for-all balderdash and twaddle, today, the day after the election, is kind of anticlimactic. Now I have to (impatiently) idle my time until we know – and then will we know for sure?
