The Day After...

So yesterday you voted. Three cheers for democracy in action!
Regardless of who you were supporting, I think we can all agree that it's a relief for the election to be over. Living in Virginia, we've been bombarded with political commercials and radio ads. My mailbox has been stuffed to the brim with flyers and brochures trying to sway my vote. The election has crept into my daily life in ways that I never would have noticed before.
For example, right now I am working from home because I have a hot date with the plumber. His name is Joe. So yes, I am literally waiting for "Joe the Plumber" as I write this. 2 months ago? Not one bit funny. Now? Not gonna lie, I'm having a chuckle.
I'm curious to hear how everyone's voting experience went. Predictions were that this election would see a record turnout of people at the polls. Did you wait in long lines, like my sister, who ultimately made three trips to our township building to eventually cast her vote? Were there any problems with your registration? On the other hand, did things go well and efficiently for you? What changes to the voting system would you like to see?
As for me, I voted a few weeks ago via absentee ballot. No lines for this girl!
