So pretend you're a hyperlocal reporter, and record Election Day in your town on your blog, at least as you experience it.
It was the first time I would ever vote. Awesome. I walked into City Hall -- who knew Lake Forest had a City Hall? It was like walking into early 1900s Ginevra King's Lake Forest with wooden inscriptions on the walls supporting the winding staircase. The only indication that it was the 21st century was the sheet of paper at the top with an arrow, directing voters to the voting room.
The room that I had imagined so many times during Bush's election (when I had been too young to vote) was just like any other room. No sneering politicians, no lobbyists, no protests -- Just some elderly volunteers handing out clipboards.
