I make it a point, generally, to vote early in the morning. By doing that, I generally miss the long lines, interesting debates that sometimes lead to heated debates, but also so I can get my civic and patriotic duty completed, knowing nothing can prevent me from voting later in the day.
This morning was no different. Polls in Philadelphia opened at 7 a.m., and I was checked in at 7:25 a.m. as voter number 23 for my precinct.
