At about noon today I was the 340th voter in 8-5 in Central neighborhood.
They said they had been busy all morning. I had to stand in line which was
great! My feeling is that people are just fired up about the election. Of
course in our precinct people want to vote in the first black women to the
Minnesota House of Representatives Neva Walker.
