Casting My Ballot
Today, I had to go to Brooklyn to put some sugar water out for the beehives. As I was walking to the hive location, I saw that CNN was interviewing pollers as they were coming out of this polling site.
I stopped in at a local coffee shop for a cup of java and saw this great flyer hanging on the wall. I loved this.
When I was done with the hives, I headed back to the subway, and saw this huge banner hanging from a restaurant’s awning. Brooklyn loves this guy!
I headed back to my neighborhood and went to vote in my district.
The line wasn’t long but, I was a little disappointed about the process. I
have to wonder what kind of training the volunteers get at these voting
places. The woman who helped me told me
to stand in the wrong line. Ugh. She also never looked at my Photo ID
which I thought was weird. I asked the volunteer how to put my ballot through the scanner and he said, “just insert it“. Up or down I said, and he barked, “just put the paper in“. I don’t appreciate how rude that volunteer was. I put my ballot through the scanner, but
wasn’t too sure if it should be up or down, so I hope my paper
scanned. Seriously, the voting process should not be this difficult. I can see how some voters can be intimated and how voting scams can potentially happen. Just frustrating!
If you haven’t voted yet, go out and do your civic duty and vote! Whoever it is you are for, get your voice out there!
