I voted early. Here’s how it went.
I voted early for the very first time on Monday — and it was amazing.
As a jaded Brooklynite who has voted in almost every election for the past 20 years, I found the difference between regular Election Day voting and early voting to be revelatory. (Kind of like landing at San Diego International after taking off from LaGuardia.)
Early voting is the way voting is supposed to be. The energy is high, and election staffers are friendly. The process is computerized from beginning to end and everything works. You just tell the poll workers your name and they look up your information on their tablets. No more paper books.
