My wife Jane and I are lucky that we are retired and head to the polls in the middle of the day, when voting lines tend to be shorter.  We did that today at our polling place, which was once Ben & Ari’s and is now the Alderman Auto Dealership.

The poll workers were friendly and smiling, even though they began their work day at 5am and will not leave until all is complete, sometime after 6pm today.

The United States Senate race has been the big statewide story in Indiana.  The President of the United States has visited Indiana more than once and former President Barack Obama spoke at a rally in northwest Indiana.

I tend to concentrate on local elections, and in Fishers the most important one is the decision to elect four members of the local Hamilton Southeastern School Board.  With four seats up for grabs and only one incumbent running, there will be a significant change in the make-up of our local school board.

In past years, I have followed the election results from the county office in Noblesville, but I am under contract to speak early Wednesday morning in Greenwood, so I may not have the election results all set late tonight, but I should have the results very early Wednesday morning by the time most people are up and getting ready for their day.

I have seen a big increase in the number of people reading my blog and listening to my podcasts during this election season, so thanks to those of you reading LarryInFishers.com and listening to my LarryInFishers.com podcasts.  You are the reason I continue with this volunteer endeavor.
