Month: November 2004

Yeah, baby. I just voted an hour ago. It totally rocked. Our precinct is at Temple Beth Emreth on Packard. I arrived at 16:00 and got a great parking spot up front; I left at 16:15. 15 minutes from start to finish. There was no one in the ‘M to Z’ line and I filled…

Check the hours the polls are open with your city or county…
