I then walked home and got my bike. Normally I commute to work at about 5:00 AM, so riding at 8:00 AM was not as pleasant, but God Bless America, I am a road warrior, not a sunshine patriot ;-)
Is it common in US elections to have the polls open that early? Here in Canada they usually open around 9, but don't close until 9 either. This last time they opened and closed at different times across the country, so they had a bunch open and close at the same time, but in different time zones, when you cross 5 time zones that can be tricky......
