3. My polling place was busy. And hopefully indicative of the state as a whole.

I live in South Lake County. Pretty conservative and very white.

A clear majority of the voters at the poll were African American, mainly female. females. In fact, there was only one other white man that I saw voting and he was probably 20 years younger than me. . Several white females. Realize the republicans had nothing to vote for.

The lady that handed me the Democratic ballot was African American. We looked me in the eyes and gave me a knowing half grin when I thanked her.

I’m thinking Joe cleans up.

Oh, and there was an emotional situation I can’t remember seeing before. A young Hispanic lady came with her (I assume) mother to cast her first ballot ever. The worker taking her ID stood up and made an impromptu announcement about the occasion. The entire basketball court of people, voters and workers alike gave her rousing round of applause. I was moved.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
