A day at the polls

[thebullet]

I walked into the polling station this morning. The lady at the table asked me my name.

I said, "Wiggin"

She reached for one of several books and opened the "W" section.

She looked up at me hopefully and asked, "Andrew?"

I responded, "Guilty".

She looked troubled. She looked back to her book. "We don't appear to have a Guilty Wiggin on the books."

Oy vey.

LOL.....I don't feel bad now about them not being able to find me.

Personally, I was amazed at how low-tech the whole thing was. Somehow I'd expected something more modern than some old geezers marking off names with a highlighter and a tin ballot box with a crookedly cut slit in the top. I felt like I'd gone back in time.

... I felt like I'd gone back in time.

To the days when they still counted every vote, let's hope.

I went to vote this morning and had to wait only a few minutes. It did seem awfully low-tech but maybe that's a good thing. There were two long cardboard ballots and I filled in bubbles with a ballpoint pen and then slid them into a large metal container. I wuppose they will be scanned much like some of the tests I used to take many years ago when I had to use a Nr. 2 pencil.
