Early Afternoon Voter Turnout In WEHO Is Said To Be "Big"

Prior To The Big Rush of After Work Voters...The Turn Out Is Said To Be Promising

When asked, 4 out of 4 West Hollywood Residents were happy to be photographed with their "I VOTED" decal...one, who even was on his mobile phone... on what sounded like serious business to me, but even so, he multi-tasked a pantomimed thumbs up photo approval with such good cheer on his face, a quick change of expression from what had preceded it, that had given me pause...whether I should just leave him alone, on what seemed like a pressing phone call.

... I guess I got swept up in my own, post-election American "I Voted" rush. It always feels cool to exercise my rights and privileges of being a U.S. citizen.

The polling place looked virtually empty but looks In Los Angeles often are deceiving by intention...from movie flats and sets, to cosmetic alterations of the surgical kind, one must never be too swayed nor snide when it comes to what's on the outside...the true story is always further in.
