Today was the first time I voted in person. Being the youngin’ that I am, this is the first time I had the opportunity to vote without an absentee ballot. So I prepared myself this morning. I woke up an hour early, rummaged around for my voter registration card, packed a book and headed to the polls. I was ready.
What I was not expecting was to walk right in, have them not even ask for my voter card, and be pointed in the direction of a kids desk that had propped on it something that resembled the trifold cardboard posters you use for science fair projects. I picked up the issued marker pen and quickly filled in the bubbles like a pop quiz I so know I aced. Then I proudly walked over to the submission box. It was a large gray mechanism that made a horrifying sound as I inserted my ballot… it sounded remarkably like a shredder…
And on a final election note a few pictures from washingtonpost.com that I thoroughly enjoyed :
Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain…
Be vawy vawy quiet… I’m hunting wabbits… or uh… moose.
