Went to vote at about 1:00 when polls opened. Lines around the block and definitely older voters

outnumbered younger voters significantly...Also, saw AA voters in large numbers. Biden is going to win Ohio...I didn't want to stand in line so will vote in morning when people are working...I basically will work from home now. Hubs had spine surgeries so he can't stand that long. I was voting in Cleveland Ohio.

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

My sister and I are doing home care for my almost 94 year old mom the last two years. We are terrified that we will bring the virus home even though are time out is limited. It just adds one more worry.

Thanks.

a primary and turn to the General. We can't have Sanders attacking our nominee...I hope he faces the reality that mathematically, he is now eliminated.
