I exercised my right to vote early today. I’d like to think I’m an experienced voter, my first vote was during the Vietnam War. Today was by far and away the best voting experience I’ve ever had. The poll workers in Alexandria, VA were efficient, organized and pleasant. There were no lines and they made sure that everyone knew what was on the ballot before they went in to vote.

Kudos to you Alexandria poll workers! Great Job!
