But when | got there at 6:00 when the sun had finally risen, | was told that people were in line at 5:00 and the
line at that point was around the entire parking area which has never been seen before. It was stunning to

| just want to say thank you for their service. And | also want to thank Madam Clerk for everything that she did
for a smooth election process. | know we had lines that wrapped around the building, both for new
registrations as well for walk-in, you know, votes for people that were voting. It went as smooth as you can
expect. So I’d like to thank Ms. Lovering for all of that. Thank you.
