We voted



Technically it was Rita that voted. I'm not a citizen so I can't vote (can you say "taxation without representation"?).
So, being the loving couple that we are, we shared the vote. We poured over all the booklets that we received that detailed the pros and cons of the different propositions (25 different choices to make in this ballot, from the President to the local board of education).

On Saturday we took advantage of the opportunity to cast our ballot early. We waited in line for one hour, and then Rita filled the boxes and sealed the envelope.

If you can and you haven't yet, go vote!

Bem sei que é o meu preconceito, mas acho estranho os USA terem escolhido um Presidente chamado Hussein... E logo numa altura em que foi uma escolha - quase - mundial, com ambos os candidatos a fazerem périplos de campanha pela Europa.
