You heard it here. My vote was suppressed today.
It took me 45 minutes to cast my ballot this morning since the ballots were filled with people.
I made my way to the Capital Banquet Center right after my Bible Study ended at Sweeties and I got the students to the high school. The parking lot was jammed and the lines were long. Thankfully I live in the village which meant that my precinct line was a lot shorter.
The mood in the polling station was jovial as Americans exercised their right to vote for George W. Bush. (All Kerry voters were taken out back, stripped, and left for dead in the woods by guys with a red pick-up truck and Texas plates.) I would have been in there a little less if I didn’t have to fill in all those stupid little dots. Give me back my punch cards! I would have been able to vote a straight ticket if it wasn’t for the fact that the Democratic sheriff in my county is really cool. So instead of one little cirlce, I got to color in dozens. As usual, I voted for judges I have never heard of. Those with last names closest to mine in the dictionary always get my vote!
Other than the long lines, voting went as boring as ever. I think all the media hype is such a bore. All the craziness about observers suppressing the vote or intimidating people is just stupid. All the lady was doing was checking IDs of newly registered voters. She is just a second set of eyes as the polling officials already did that anyway. Besides, if you are intimidated by a grandmotherly looking observer… You don’t deserve to vote anyway! Move to Canada.
All eyes will be on the results tonight. 4 more years… I hope.
