I voted! I voted!
Armed with my (California) driver's license, voter registration form, voter registration card, mail to my current (sister's) address in Virginia from the following: bank, credit card company, health insurance, pay stub from VA employer and retirement account company. I was DETERMINED to get to vote.
Armed with my wad of I-live-and-pay-taxes-in-this-commonwealth evidence, I stepped up to the booth. She was like, "Your voter card alone is sufficient." "Oh, okay, here you go," fumbling to remove the card from its envelope and purse in one hand, wad in the other, with my new voter permit pass in between two fingers I was directed around the check in station into the actual voting room. Nary a line to be found. The beauty of showing up at 9:45.
It was very exciting choosing Obama-Biden, and Warner and Moran. And voting to maintain our parks. And getting the sticker. And the free cup of coffee from Starbucks because of the sticker.
I love that we can choose our leaders. Especially when the leaders I choose become the leaders. Yes We Can!
I'll be doing cheerleading jumps in my office if any of you need me.
Hope you're voting is as easy and fun.
Kisses,
Star

I love that we had the same experience! With my expired temp drivers license and my permanent one that had the wrong name, I was sure I'd be denied. But that ole voter reg card is the ticket.
Sweet!
ps- Yes We Can!
