I just exercised my franchise in that great American experiment. The wife and I trudged dutifully to the polling place and cast our ballots as good citizens, informed citizens, should.

Here are some impressions.

First, although we went at an off hour (10 a.m.) the turnout was very light. This surprised me a great deal, because I was expecting a packed house. It is a good sign in my opinion because I live in the City of St. Louis, which is a Democrat machine. Light turnout here means fewer votes for The Queen and for the other basket of deplorable liberal soul stealers that are running for office. Light turnout means we have more hope in preventing another one of those nasty Carnahan famiglia members from winning election. It means keeping the corrupt Christ Kostner out. It means hopefully stopping the huge cigarette tax increase that was pushed on not one but two seperate initiatives, one a state constitutional amendment the other a proposition. It means, hopefully, that fewer votes can be stolen.

I was struck by another interesting tidbit; there was a long line at the electronic voting booths, while the paper ballot tables were sparse. I don't get it; the electronic voting has been shown to be open to being hacked, so why would anyone choose that option?  If you want your vote to count it makes no sense to use those George Soros provided gadgets. Go figure.

By the way, you may be reading the work of the next District Attorney in St. Louis!  The Democrats had no opposition for the position, so I wrote myself in. After voting I learned my wife had written me in for that position. So if my opponent gets less than two votes I will be the next Circuit Attorney!  I would have written the wife in except I didn't think she wanted the job...

I've got to get to work on my victory speech for the press.

It's going to be a long night...
