Waited for an hour to vote today. Five first time voters just while we were inside the building. The poll workers said there had been 30 first time voters last Saturday and about 10 to 15 every other early voting day last week. More people voting is good. 🇺🇸
Oval sticker with American flag and “I voted”.

Goatboy Impkin from Megan Lapp’s book “Crochet Impkins”. These are so fun because they’re mix and match. I’m going to make one with fin ears next. Eventually I will mix and match my own instead of using the ideas in the book.
