I voted early in the primary election on Saturday.
There wasn't much of a wait because there was no one in line ahead of me, but I still had to wait about five minutes while a little man was sent into a back room to get a Libertarian ballot. Apparently Libertarian ballots are kept separate from all other ballots and must be retrieved from a secret Libertarian ballot room. It was explained that because there are only 144 Libertarians in Rockingham County that it is OK to keep their ballots separate.
I got to vote on a candidate for U.S. Senate and a candidate for some sort of judge and whether the county should be liquored up. I will tell you I voted against allowing liquor stores in the county because I figure the government has more than enough grip on everything. I voted to allow the sale of liquor in restaurants or convention centers. Good luck to whoever has the money or is fool enough to open a restaurant or convention center in Rockingham County.
Bubba and Mrs. Tilley were there. but they never tried to sway my vote. Tamara was there sitting in a chair and holding signs right outside the ballot area. She wanted me to vote for Phil Berger and Melanie Bridge. Phil and Melanie weren't on my ballot.
