I’m from the government again (sort of) …

… and I’m here to help (on a limited number of days).

I took this early morning photo of the cranes this morning on my way to special election early voting in Alexandria.

I volunteered to be an election officer and was trained up late last month. Sarah voted in the early voting line last weekend and reported the line was long.

There was a call out to volunteers to try to staff up this weekend. Which turned out to be a good thing as it was Alexandria’s record for single polling place turnout: 2351 votes cast today.

I’m curious to see how Tuesday goes. That’s the regular voting day for this special election. And I’m curious to see if I’m up for working in November after having worked a regular voting day.
