History is upon us right this very second in time.

I had the pleasure of talking to various people at the polling place at Chaparral Elementary school on the Albuquerque’s west side. I spent almost three hours observing and analyzing the reactions of voters and workers. From what I noticed and over heard was how smoothly everything was going.

There was a minor line forming early this morning [7:30 am] and a minor ballot jam. All those were naturally taken care of within a reasonable amount of time and were presided by the judge. Otherwise, my time spent at Chaparral was pleasant.

I’m very glad to report how there was such a variety of people.

What I mean by that is the support of all ages, ethnic groups, genders, etc. Everyone is very much involved in this current election and its very pleasing to see such support for both presidential candidates.
