I have a few comments for those who are interested in the TSA headquarters as a polling place. A total of 473 people turned out to vote in our building, and the voting process went very smoothly.

I spoke to several people who took brochures and planned to return on another day to visit the library and grounds. I feel that we performed a useful service to our community and democracy by allowing our classroom to be used in this way, and I hope we offer use of our facilities again.
