On the other hand, if they have the same octogenarians (nonagenarians?)
working the polls that were there last time around, there just may be a
riot
yet!

Just as long as they are not fertile octogenarians. That would be too much
for Mr. Miller.


We had mostly old people handling the registration and handing out of
ballots, but high school kids were handing out some other stuff in the
lobby. I was in and out before most of the people who were in the
booths when I walked in the front door were looking anywhere near
done. I'd used the system 2 years ago and knew the process. I also
knew who I wanted to vote for. Helps a lot. I suspect some of the
people were first time voters and many more first time with this
system. Very fast. I waited until after the lunch hour voters would
have been gone (1:30;pm) and there was no line, no problem. But I'm
in MN and live and vote in a 'burb. At the last house I usually
waited for Skye to come home and then took her along, so we were about
6 to 7pm. In presidential elections, we'd have a line, but off years,
no problem. Off years, mostly the really interested vote and the rest
stay home and then whine when they get a senator they don't like.
