And you are right, I want to hear from my "age group".

For my part, I voted today in Georgia. Hoping to be the one that puts Ms. Clinton in the winner's circle here. Funny story, we had to cross the street to vote in the city elections. We (my sister and I) walked up, there was a volunteer who was waiting on the sidewalk, walked us in, opening doors, pointing the way. The town has a total of 800 residents and we were the only voters there. After we voted and were leaving, every one of the election worker bees thanked us for coming and voting. I love small towns!
