“I VOTED”……..”MY VOTE COUNTED”….
At Jarvis Hall..approx. 9:30 am…the line was out to A1A…but in a matter of minutes…a poll worker walked down the line looking for precinct 33….it felt like I won the lottery…or was a chosen one…as I was escorted right in!…
Inside no wait…no problem with I.D. or signing…moved from sign-in…to pick up the 4 page…2 sided…ballot…containing 3 languages…on each page…English…Spanish…Creole…was offered a pen and a clipboard to get started if I chose to bubble the ballot among my fellow voters…while awaiting a place at a booth…great!…
1 page shy of being done…. it was my turn to enter the booth…and since I brought my trusty posted notes…to guide me through the confusing amendments…all that was left….a quick bubble …fully filled in review…and onto the machine to put each finished page through…with a computerized “Thank You” acknowledged as acceptance….back to the exit…to receive the coveted… “My Vote Counted” sticker…that replaces the tried and true…”I voted”….from start to finish…20 minutes tops!…
KUDOS…to the Jarvis Hall Poll workers!….
Inside and Outside …I want to thank the many people who approached me to let me know they too are faithful readers…and asked me to to keep it up…to keep them all informed…you can count on it!…
One down side…looks like someone at Town Hall did not follow through with the parking for voters in front of Town Hall parking lot… ….to provide a time limit …to ensure easy parking…and close proximity access for voters… directed from Commissioner Dodd…following the last election….OOPS!…
The street corners are Obama corners today……for sure…but the driving “Change” crowd…were showing their “stripes”…..as this writer was heading south …the road was down to one lane….and who was letting the cars back in……..in an orderly…mannerly…lane entering car etiquette fashion…….. the McCain crowd…while the Obama “smug” hybrid bunch… well…. they had their blinders on!….HMMM…….
11:35 am…and the pundits haven’t called it yet!….
more to come….
