Especially by Indiana standards, by all accounts we’ve blown the doors off turnout for a primary election. It is an absolutely beautiful day here, and it feels more like a general election than primary day, especially downtown. I voted at 7am, and already more people had voted than when I voted at about 8am in November 2006. Polls close in about an hour — and that’s an issue I think Democrats really need to address here, as it is not friendly for working people. There is one reason I’m glad the polls are closing early. Why?
Because the arcane blue laws of this state prohibit the sale of alcohol while the polls are open!! (I’m really not kidding — I couldn’t get a beer with my bacon cheeseburger at lunch).
My guess is that Clinton and JLT pull out maybe 5-6 point victories tonight, but we’ll have to wait and see. It has been fun being in the political spotlight like never before for a few weeks!
Wow… That sounds like a law that’s been on the books since the prohibition era… We wouldn’t want drunk people going off and making stupid decisions now would we. lol You’ll just have to have two, or five beers today with lunch to make up for it! lol
