Election day

My local polling location in Rosendale, NY.

As I pulled up to my voting location, I was pleasantly surprised to see not to many cars in the parking lot. Early in the morning I was told otherwise by my mom, who said it was packed at 6:30 am.

Rosendale, NY, my neighbors proudly supporting blue.

Pleasantly surprised to see my old neighbors supporting blue, as I drove up to my parents house.

As as was waiting in line, I was hoping i’d run into one of my old friends, but I did not. Everyone seemed to be social distancing quite well.

Contemplation

As I was in line, I noticed this older woman sitting on the bench, she seemed very stressed out and exhausted. I wish I was able to bring my camera with me to photograph; but to stay low-key, it made more sense to use my Iphone.

Rosendale, Fans Plaza, Eerily quite on election day

I was testing out my new drone and happened to fly it over the plaza down our hill, when I began to notice how little people had been out today. Rosendale historically is a progressive town, maybe it was because of COVID-19? Or perhaps because it was election day.

At this moment it seemed as if we were going to loose the election. We lost Texas, Pennsylvania, and Florida; all were predicted to go blue this year. As my anxiety was peaking, I began to drink with my neighbors.
