You the man now dog.
(Updated 11:16pm) Or Not!
If you’ve watched any news about the Ohio election you may have heard about the ballot shortages in our county. It took us an hour to vote tonight, not because of long lines, but because the polling place had run out of ballots. I guess I didn’t even know that was possible until tonight.
Shortly after arriving at the polling place, and having our ID checked, we were informed we could either complete an issues-only ballot, or wait for additional candidate ballots to arrive. After a half hour of waiting there was still no sign of more ballots and the waiting area of would-be voters grew. Cincinnati newspaper and television crews showed up and began interviewing people. Fifteen minutes more later, one of the polling officials reappeared with a stack of photocopied ballots and got us all moving through again. After completing the makeshift ballots, we had to deposit them into a special steel container since they could not be scanned electronically. While at the table getting my ID rechecked I overheard the polling official who made the copies telling another: “So I called the office again asking when our extra ballots would be showing up. I told them we had a lot of people waiting and that the media was here. They said to just make photocopies and get everyone out as soon as possible.”
That didn’t exactly give me a warm fuzzy about this whole democratic experience.
Well I guess you should have followed the old Democrat axiom of “Vote early and often.” 😉
As for me I voted around 4, had no ballot issues got my vote in for Barrak. Fat lot of good that did. Also gues I am a demonut now… at least for a year.
