James's driver's license fell apart (turns out they had problems with several around the time he got his), and we got to the DMV one minute too late today, so we will have to go do that first, since he will need that to vote. We will probably vote late afternoon.

THAT sure sounds encouraging and positive. Congratulations to your 18 year old. May he always have a right to make a choice in his life, voting is one of highest choices person can make. Privilege!We all went and voted en mass a couple of weeks ago. I had to be at my mom's last week and I wasn't sure I'd be back home in time to vote today. It was awesome when we voted because it was my 18 year old son's first time to vote so the whole family went and voted together and then went out for lunch to celebrate this big rite of passage! I'm so excited and impressed to see how many young, first time voters are turning out to vote.
Thanks! We are actually on the way to the DMV now and then will vote. It was someone at the DMV who told him he would need it to vote, but that doesn't necessarily mean she knew what she was talking about. However, he does need to replace it anyway, so we might as well do it now.Hi, Barbara. You've probably taken care of this already, but FYI, you need ID, but not PHOTO ID in South Carolina: State Requirements for Voter ID
I just got back from voting. Dh, ds and I went at 6:30 am and the line was outrageous! We came back home and went back at 8:30. We were done by 9:30. It wasn't too bad.
I was just surprised how many people didn't know where their polling place was. There were quite a few that were told there polling place was somewhere else. Wouldn't you check that out before going?? Oh well, I did my duty.

Thanks, ITK. I think it is one of the greatest privileges we have as citizens and I have tried to make sure each of my kids understands it comes with the responsibility to actually vote!THAT sure sounds encouraging and positive. Congratulations to your 18 year old. May he always have a right to make a choice in his life, voting is one of highest choices person can make. Privilege!
Yikes! I'm glad things didn't turn out badly. It seems to me that in the amount of time it took him to go get his gun he could have gone to the right polling place!...P.S. The most exciting part of the day was when one young man challenged his ability to vote at our precinct. He got into a "serious" argument with one of our polling officials, the sheriff was called and things went kinda negative from there. The young man later came back with a gun. Fortunately there was no issue when he returned.
