The Delaware top elections official announced in time for

last Sunday's print editions that we have a record number of

registrations, topping six hundred thousand for the first time. Over 601,000 people are now registered to vote in Delaware.

Chicago by itself probably has more voters. Delaware has 3

electoral votes.I went to my usual polling place at the school across the

street from my house. I was in and out in ten minutes. Many of the

poll workers appeared to be too young to vote.The system went well. In the morning when I left for work I

was put off because the 20 cars in the usually-empty Southern

parking lot gave me the impression that there would be 20 people in

line in front of me. As it turns out there were 4 lines with 2 poll

workers for each line, and 4 voting machines with one poll worker

each, so that accounted for 12 of the cars, plus there were

electioneers for many offices standing outside the entrance to

glad-hand all who wandered by.No line, in and out in 10 minutes in Newark, Delaware.

I

voted!
