I was the 1st person in line at the Green Valley Elementary school this morning. I arrived at 4:47AM and within 5-10 minutes later I was joined by 3-4 more individuals. At 6AM when the doors opened, the poll workers were very shocked at the amount of people that had arrived after me (since I arrived with many of them) The poll workers made the process easy. I was very proud to be part of history this morning. I know the wait will be worth it.
