I just came back from the polls. It was pretty crowded, but I didn't have to wait in line.And, since I haven't been to the polls in years, things were pretty different. I had the option of voting on a paper ballot (fill-in the circles, like on an absentee ballot) or a voting machine.
I picked the paper ballot. The poll workers were pretty young. In fact, the girls who told me where my precinct was were probably younger than 16.
In fact, there were many enthusiastic people there to help, and it was a lot of fun. And, I got my sticker! Now I'm going to go to Ben & Jerry's for free ice cream and Starbucks for a free cup of coffee.
It was a lot more fun than absentee ballots. I'll miss it when the polls are closed for good. It's the ritual, the community and, of course, the free stickers!
Hope you voted too!
