40 minutes.

That's about how long my journey to the polls ran. The weather was calm, the coffee was tasty, and my fellow line standers were quiet and polite. My neighborhood is fairly diverse here in Harrisburg, PA, so it's tough for me to gauge if there were more African Americans or more young people, or simply more people in general. But, if I had been expecting a riot I didn't get it. There was a brief moment of panic when I didn't see my name in the book right away, but there I was, on the bottom.

Some local news pundits are predicting up to an 80% turnout in the Commonwealth. We shall see.
