Early returns from West Virginia

Just got a bubbly call from my youngest daughter, Kelly, a journalism major at West Virginia University.
Kelly was exploding with enthusiasm because she had just been to the post office in Morgantown.
“I just voted. I’m so excited,” she blurted out. It’s her first presidential vote.
She’s a little disappointed to have to make it by absentee ballot, but she’s still excited to be casting her first vote for a president.
Kelly was home for a weekend early this month and stopped by the Board of Elections to pick up her ballot, which she filled out over the weekend.
She decided to skip the campus post office and take the ballot to the main post office in Morgantown.
There the clerk noticed her Suffern home address and announced that he had once been her neighbor—sort of. He used to live in Nyack.
Needless to say, Kelly wasn’t sharing her choices. We’ll just have to figure that she’s one of the millions whose votes will determine the next president.
