Home school field trip: OK kids, let's go participate in democracy!
We got there 10 minutes before the polls opened and had 104 people in front of us. I mean that literally since the Emperor has Super Fast Head Counting as one of his many super powers.

Also at Enchanted Learning, we got some nice electoral maps to color in as the results come in tonight. They even had spaces to check off Democrat or Republican for each state. Very nice!
