After We Vote...

[I mean we had a Before We Vote... thread]

Share your experiences.   BTB, I vote at a Synagogue.  When you read below you'll see why that might be important.



Voted at 9:30 on Tuesday. Extended a hearty "good morning" to all the poll workers. Filled out the form and got it 100% right. Alway feels good to ace a test. Spent 10 minutes catching up on the latest news from our block with my next door neighbor, a poll worker. Took 15 seconds out of my busy social life to vote. Would have taken only 5 seconds but reading and answering that question about, "Can you read this, now?" Took more time than the actual vote. Spent 10 minutes talking with the Sheriff Deputy on guard at the door. She misled me and said it was normal for deputies to be on duty. "Strange," I told her as I'd never seen one before, but she assured me one had been there every Election Day. She lied. Found out from another precinct captain that deputies are only posted where problems are expected. Darn, I should have hung around my precinct for the excitement. I needed a nap after all that hard work.

I had to walk about 800 feet to my polling place from my front door.  It was exhausting...

Went into the school, thanked a couple of fellow Vets for their service going in, got my ballot, thanked the two 70 year old hotties for their service and voted.  I too got all the correct answers but I think they're grading on the curve....

Thanked the exit folks for their service, said g'morning to the Chief of Police and walked back home.

All in all, about 10 minutes...

I too got all the correct answers but I think they're grading on the curve....

A couple of explanations:

In Georgia, when you enter the voting place, you first fill out a form, before you can vote, with date, name, address, including county and you check your party affiliation.   A lot of people don't fill it out correctly.  I always take pride in not missing any of the blanks.

We use electronic voting machines.  The first thing it asks you about is whether the type is large enough to read.  There are about 3 choices.   It took longer to find the "continue" button than it did to cast the actual, one question, ballot.

Hi;

     Being a 3rd Party person, I will not be able to vote in Pennsylvania's primary. I vote every chance I get. I do not believe in that my vote does not matter. I do try to check out the results to see how many voted for and not for a person or position.

     I enjoy the times that only 1 person is running for a position and there are @ 1000 people voting and the "sob" only gets 50-60 votes out of the 1000. That really tells that person what people really think of him/her !

When I got there the only people there were the poll workers.
Showed my ID got my name checked off the list, received my ballot.
Longest step in the process was reading down the list for the guy I was looking for.
In and out about 3 minutes.

For the first time in years if ever, my wife and I won't cancel each other out!  LOL  She says she doesn't like any of the candidates and isn't going to vote!  I don't either but have a few days to try and sort things out.  We vote in a school so CCW is out and we are likely to see anything while there.   Have been a life long registered Democrat but that will change this election because I have to declare and that will be Republican.  Not sure if my parents are spinning in their graves but they can't be happy with politics of the day.
