I thought the vote in the Lincoln region would be this weekend. I went to my usual polling location but nobody was there. Perhpas I did not the right address. I went back home and along the way threw away my ballot.

Lincoln and the South didn't open the vote, I deeply apologize for my lapse (not that ir justifies it, but I have been spectacularly busy and will open it at the appropriate time). Thank you, Lumine!
