Holland, Mich.--This
year on Election Day, people were lined up early and ready to vote even though
it was freezing cold. The high temperature on November 6th was about
48 degrees, and the low was about 26 degrees. "My wife stood in line for
roughly half an hour to forty-five minutes," said Jay Woods, a teacher at
Holland New Tech. It seemed that most people didn't mind it being cold while
they were standing in line waiting to vote. "Our Lady of the Lake Catholic
Church is our polling place, and the parking lot was very full at 7:30 AM,"
said Mr. Woods.
Many
people probably thought it was freezing, but were nonetheless excited to vote and
were not discouraged by the cold weather.
