Starmalachite from LJ here. I think the *most* nervous person in the country right now must be the head of the Secret Service.
I've been saying for 30 years that this country would elect a black man before a white woman. But I never ever thought I'd see both in the same election cycle.
In VA, I was offered the choice of paper ballot or voting machine; this is apparently true statewide. In line, I heard a few people say they were planning to use the machines and encouraged them to use paper ("Look, I'm in the computer industry. That's why I'm using the paper ballot." Etc.) Hope they listened.
