I voted today!

I voted. About a 45 minute process from parking to applying "I voted today" sticker. Which I subsequently lost. :(

Crowds of first time voters of all ages. Once behind the curtain they all seem to be able to make a connection between their index finger and the voting machine. It just is not that difficult.

One request: PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE BE NICE to the poll workers. They have donated their entire day to facillitate our political process. They are doing the best they can.

The senior citizens behind me in line complained about the 30 to 45 minute wait, the fact that fewer A-K voters were at the polling place and therefore had a shorter line and anything else they could come up with. If you don't work and you are being paid by the government (via social security) the least you can do it show up once every four years and wait 1 or 2 hours in line to vote. Without complaining! Walk a mile in their shoes if you want to complain. If you are retired why are you not sitting behind the table working at the polls?
