I voted this morning in Alexandria, Virginia. There was a line, but only for people whose names started with the letter “L” through “Z”. Apparently my neighborhood is alphabetically imbalanced, or at least the morning voters are.

The gentlemen behind the table verified my name, address, and voter registration card (hooray!) but also automatically handed me a Democratic ballot (boo!).

At 9:15 a.m., there were 81 Republican votes, 151 Democrat. While there’s obviously a lot more interest in the Democratic race, which is still competitive, my neighborhood might as well be called Yuppie Acres. The roads are lined with McCain, Paul, Hillary and Obama signs.

I talk, briefly, about who I voted for and why over on the personal site.
