On Election Day 2010

Well, I think I have recovered sufficiently enough from the election that I can blog about my experiences on Election Day, so here it is:

Of the twelve hours during which the polls were open here in Indiana, I spent two-thirds of that time working as a poll book holder, a task designed to help increase voter turnout at the polls.  The poll workers I worked with were accommodating and had no objections to my being there.  Almost near the middle of the day, I was able to go and cast my own vote, where I voted for the Republican candidates in all but one of the elections (I'll have more about that later).  After the polls were closed (thank God!), I was in Auburn with the DeKalb 9/12 Project to discuss our experiences on Election Day and later in Fort Wayne, where the Allen County Republican Party was celebrating the election results.  Marlin Stutzman was there to give his victory speech, and after all the time I had spent as a volunteer (both in his Senate and Congress races), I had to be there.  (click on the link to see the video below)





Needless to say, I'm excited about the victories of Marlin Stutzman, Dan Coats, Dick Dodge, Dennis Kruse, Don Lauer, Richard Mourdock and Tim Berry.  I'll have more of my 2¢ on the election results later today.
