PROP 8 PASSES!

We went out and voted on November 4th and got to experience it California style. Our voting location was at a house up the road. It was in their garage with electronic ballots. I thought at first it was touch screen but....nope it was a knob that you had to twist until it highlighted what you were voting for. After I figured that out and felt stupid for trying the touch screen approach it was very fast and simple. Barack Obama is the new president which wasn't too much of a surprise. Neal and I were most anxious about Prop 8. We didn't find out the results until the next morning and it passed by only 400,000 votes. It's crazy here still, the No on 8 people are still protesting and walking streets with signs and all sorts of things. But this is the 2nd time it has passed here so it better not get overturned!
