Where Do You Vote?

[Artemis Windsong]

The usual is the closest school.

One year the Civic Center renamed this year to Events Center. 

I vote absentee.  I know, I know, the votes are sometimes counted last.

Early voting at the court house is counted right away.  I thought they opened at usual business opening time.  Naw.  I had to find something to do for nearly an hour so I didn't lose my parking place downtown.  When I returned there were 3 spaces open so I chanced it and did get a spot in front.  Chilly, windy day.  Then a line had formed.

Have you ever worked an election?  First time I didn't make it because DH said income would wreck our income taxes.  Second time, he signed up with me.  I chose the college.    The college president came by for a chat wanting to know how we ended up there.  I picked the place with hot food!  She said that students s/have been hired for those positions.  I haven't signed up since.

Years ago a friend signed up to be the main person but the place she worked was out of town.  This is pre-cell phones.  It turned into a fiasco because she was over 70 y.o.  No additional helpers to check people in.  Supposed to haul the ballot reader back into town in time for the vote to be recorded by 9:00 or so p.m.  Passenger car.  Rural school; offices locked up.  No way to lock the place up. 

When she hadn't come home by midnight her DH went looking for her.  Fiasco, I tell ya!
