Voting! Woohoo!
First, I am definately pre-registering next year. My roommate and I waited in line for almost half an hour before we finally got to vote. It didn't realize until today that I have to register every time my address changes. Second, I found that I was definately in the minority with my vote. As I was standing in line, two guys behind me were wondering if anyone would actually vote for Hillary. When I turned around and told them that I was indeed voting for her, they informed me that didn't count because I was a girl. Apparantly the only reason I would do such a heinous thing would be that I want a female president, a view that was also shared by some of my male friends. The fact that she is a woman has nothing to do with why I support her. I like both Obama and Clinton, but I feel that she has more concrete plans and experience. My candidate didn't win, but I think it was still important to cast my vote. I hope everyone did the same, no matter who they voted for.

My poll wasn't really busy at all when I voted. In and out. I'm just excited that the first election that I get to participate in is such an important one. It is also nice that Wisconsin is getting a lot more attention this year. It has been great being able to see the different candidates here in WI. It's unfortunate that people would say such things about a female voter voting for a female candidate. The most important factor is the candidate's views on the issues, not their sex.
