It was somewhat surprising that the elementary school that was serving as our polling station was open for business. I guess they are not expecting a significant turn-out.
Knowing Montgomery County...were they closed for the elections, or for fear of the weather? :-D
It was really bizarre, though. There I was walking amongst elementary school kids as I went through the halls to the gymnasium where the voting machines were stationed.
Haha... MCPS has always closed all their schools for voting. It's been like that since I was a kid. I think because there aren't enough community centers/non-schools where people can vote.
Maybe their rationale is that high school students can babysit their middle school/elem school siblings...
