Part two of voting early at the Olympic Ice Sheet in Ogden Utah // Shot Oct. 29, 30, 2008

Insight from a high school senior too young to vote in this election. // 28 year old first time female voter. // 18 year old high school senior first time voter. All share experience of early voting in Utah.

The Ogden Ice Sheet was pretty well packed this evening. I witnessed dozens of voters turning back before the polls even closed at 5pm MDT. I accompanied four political enthusiasts to the polling location, only two of which old enough to vote, but none of which willing to stay behind.

I also witnessed a surprisingly diverse crowd of Ogdenites getting out the vote. My experience today was energetic enough, that I am really looking forward to showing up earlier to see how the turn out is tomorrow.

Hopefully I will have another good report to share.
