One year ago I was in Cleveland, Ohio with Sean and our friend Charlie. The three of us canvassed the night before and spent all of Election Day, from 5AM-9PM as poll watchers outside Cleveland polling places. As you probably remember, allegations of voter fraud were rampant in Ohio in 2004, particularly in Cuyahoga County. I’m happy to say that besides Sean getting called a “commie New York lawyer,” we had no problems.
All in all, it was a great day. My polling place went 100% for Obama–seriously. We dropped into a Cuyahoga County Dems party and stuck around for the announcement of the win. After that we headed back to our hotel, watched the somber and emotional speech, and then hit the sack. We were exhausted and happy.
