Election Day Weather

by Esella Niño

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.
