Adventures in Voting
First thing this morning I headed out to vote. In the 2004 Presidential election, I wisely chose to vote via an absentee ballot. This year, however, I decided to take my chances and vote in person. What a mistake! I got to my polling place shortly after 7 AM. The geniuses in charge decided to divide the line of registered voters in two alphabetically. So, that means A-M in one line and N-Z in the other, right? Uh, no. One line was for A-I and the other for J-Z. Not surprisingly, the J-Z line wound around the school cafeteria while the A-I line was virtually empty. How efficient and logical!
While it's true that 92.6% of my ward (34) voted for Kerry in the Presidential election, I don't think it's fair to say that there's some kind of correlation between voting that way and being silly and rigid enough to run a polling place like that. A fair Wisconsinite wouldn't make that kind of assumption. Or would she? ;-)
