Oh my God, the line was soooo long. The process took about 3 hours from beginning to end. I kept thinking back to tv images of the first post-apartheid Election Day in South Africa when Mandela was on the ballot. I spent most of the time outside, waiting to be let into the Lemon City Library (Miami). Then I got a numbered ticket and was eventually let in. Once inside (which was still 70+ deep), I had to wait for my number to be called before being let into a seperate room where all the voting booths were. Fortunately for future early voters, the governor is extending the poll hours for the rest of the week.

I didn't realize you were in Miami. I used to teach at Clara Muhammad School/ Al Ansar.
Sorry to hear that you were in such a long line, but I'm glad to hear it too! Good job!
Yeah, this is my second year out here. And I've gone to Masjid Al-Ansar a couple of times now. I was thinking about helping out at the school there in some capacity but I'm not sure exactly how yet.
I'm not sure who the principal is anymore, otherwise, I would give you some info.
