Dispatches from an Election Day Pollworker
Well, this is somewhat of a misnomer and somewhat embarrassing.
I never got around to calling Pam. So I’m actually not working the polls. I am disappointed in myself, but also somewhat relieved that I don’t have to spend the day working with crazy people. But in an effort to make this column useful, I’ve waited to vote during one of the busiest times of
day. So I antcipate spending a long time in line. I’ve packed a lunch, and a book. I forgot to charge my iPod, so I won’t have any music, but that will just increase my chances of talking to crazy people. You can follow me here or here (just search for ‘rustedjesus’). I’ll be sending updates via my cell phone. Technology orgasm!
Well that was rather uneventful. There was a cute girl voting next to me, but I didn’t ask her who she voted for. I didn’t want to be disappointed. It was extremely exciting to see Obama’s name on the ballot. I nearly ejaculated all over the ballot. But the best part of the process was over hearing at least 4 people coming and proclaiming that this was their first time voting. And all of them were certainly old enough to have been able to vote in the last three presidential elections. It’s a special day.
Happy voting.
