It's hard to ignore the fact that today is Election Day in the U.S. If you went to the polls today, tell us what it was like. Long line? Free stickers? Hanging chads? We want the details.

Well I'm not American but people outside the USA are interested to know what's going to be the outcome of the US election this year. Like the USA, the Philippines, my country, adheres to democracy and Election Day is something we look forward to as Filipinos. During voting time, we queue in, wait for our turn, look for our names if it's in the list, vote, and go out of the polling precinct feeling proud that we have once again exercised our right to choose our leader. The Americans know who won the election after one day... The Filipinos know who won the election after a month or two depending on election protests. But no matter what, this is the beauty of democracy where people can air their protests and exert their efforts up to their very last drop of blood until they get what they want. So, long line? free stickers? hanging chads? These are okay so long as we live in a free country. Happy election Day, USA. We will have ours in 2010.
