Here’s my first-person shooter (mostly) video of voting in a small town in Vermont on a paper ballot on a golden November afternoon. No lines, no waiting, no touch screen problems. I was voter #454 at 3:30 pm. There are about 900 registered voters in town.

And I did get the champagne.

Oh! I’m just reading all your posts, and the pleas for a DTWOF election night panel. Man! I wasted all this time on the stupid video, and I should have been doing a drawing. Well…I’ll see what I can do. I got a lot on my plate tonight. I’m leaving on my book tour tomorrow and totally haven’t packed yet, or finished my powerpoint, or had dinner, or nuthin. Let’s see how the evening transpires, okay? Maybe Mo will live-blog.

you bet!

Here’s an interesting site. Bookies’ odds on the election results.

How’s everyone doing? I’m going out soon to vote. And buy a bottle of champagne, though I’m a little afraid that might jinx things.
