Voted today

Posted to Politics category

I ended up filling out a provisional ballot, due to the mail in ballot already being sent to me. Elyse was right, but I was still able to vote, just not on the computers, which isn't that bad. I wasn't the only one, an older couple a few people ahead of me and a number of folks after me all had the same issue.

The line was slow, but short. At any one time they may have been a dozen people in line. They had one person that seemed to know what he was doing and six old people who were mainly confused. The one person was running most of the show, I was amazed at how he was able to herd the old folks without being demeaning (Like I am). They seemed to listen to him and for the most part things moved right along.

The sticker nazi was annoying, made me feel like I was caught in a Seinfeld episode. I didn't really think I needed a "I voted" sticker, so I walked out without one, he chased after us, I ignored him till he followed us into the parking lot, yelling "Don't forget your sticker!". He seemed upset I didn't want one. Not sure why they waste a voleenter like that, if they had him working a terminal checking IDs or walking the harddrives to the voting booths the line would go much faster. Maybe he was too old and incapable of anything else. Seemed more alive than the others.
