I cast my vote about 9 this morning.

My family votes in Millersburg, a village east of Paris on U.S. 68. Though rural, it can hardly be called Appalachian. This is horse country here. We vote in the building that used to be Millersburg Elementary School before the county closed it for economic reasons. Everything becomes more and more centralized.

Activity around the polling place seemed about normal. The poll workers said they had had a “steady stream” of voters but expected the heaviest vote this evening (southern for late afternoon). The man who was guarding the machine at which I voted was telling me how proud he is of his son, who registered to vote the minute he turned 18.

Couple things I forgot to mention that Clinton talked about last night that I hadn’t heard before. One, she spent quite a bit of time on equal pay for women. And second, she mentioned a considerable tax rebate for those who buy fuel-efficient cars as well as her gas-tax holiday.
