Poll-watcher up before the sun

Cota positions herself between Aunt Jan and David Fagus.
This marks Cota's 10th year of poll-watching in Rogers Park.

(Rogers Park) - You gotta get up pretty early to grab the prime sign location. David Fagus and his ward organization were "on it" this morning.

Just ask Cota. Her spot was already taken.

And - there was no snow or frozen ground to deal with. The signs didn't even need a drill to be placed in the ground.

I don't believe Cota and I have ever experienced this type of weather on a Chicago Primary election day.

That's right, folks, it's a beautiful day outside. No reason to avoid the polls. Please, get out and vote.

And, if you see Cota and I out-and-about, say "hi."
