Vote Early and Often! (And have mercy on poll workers)
November 3, 2008 | 1:15 amI’d like everyone to please get out and vote during the next two days. Please do not be dismayed by the long lines on Monday…those lines will be MUCH longer on Tuesday. Also, if you are in line when the polls close, you legally will still be able to vote. (Don’t let anyone tell you differently!).
If you think you’re candidate has got it in the bag, vote anyway! If you think you’re candidate does not have a chance, vote anyway! Remember how close it was in 2000? Remember when Dewey beat Truman? (Oh wait…)
If you wanted to vote, but get to the polls too late on Tuesday, and your state had early voting….you are a moron/fool/ignorant. Pray that your candidate was supported by those who took the time to cast a ballot…
I’m working the polls for the very first time on Tuesday. And it being my first time, the board of elections gave me the job of presiding judge; I actually have more responsibilities than anyone else in my precinct. (Fortunately, I get paid more…but who knows if it will be worth the trouble). I plan on writing all about this after the election. I will say that I’m already disappointed in a number of things I’ve seen (Did you know that if you’re an independent, you CANNOT work the polls in my county?)…and that my local board could stand to have a usability expert work with them on improving…well just about everything.
This is all just part of my ongoing love/hate relationship with politics…Cheerio!
