. . .and if you have any stories to tell later, we'd love to hear/read them.

Me, I'm a poll worker (NY), so Tuesday begins for me getting to the site by 5:00 AM to set up for opening at 6 AM, and it won't end until closing at 9 PM, when we then have to close up shop according to protocol, call in our results, and turn in equipment.
Odds are, I will not be home until maybe midnight; then I'm off to bed to sleep for about 10 hours. No TV, no social media, etc.
