I did my civic duty....
Nov. 7th, 2006 11:26 amWoke up late today. The weather here is yucky -- somewhat cold and rainy. Was feeling more tired than I usually do in the morning. So I slept in until about 8 am. Took a shower, dressed, and got out the door.
Voting was uneventful. The pollworkers guided me through the process as if I hadn't voted before. I guess they're trained to do that. I showed my driver's license as requested. (I thought it wasn't necessary to show ID. Did the law change on this in the past two years?) Then I selected my candidates with the stylus on the electronic system. (The hardest part was voting for the judges since there's no party affiliation listed for them.) I was sure to get a printout of my entire vote, just in case. Then it was off to breakfast at Tim Horton's before I headed into work.
I would have liked to have worked for Election Protection this year, like I did two years ago, but my schedule didn't allow for it.
For my colleages in the US: Do the right thing. Vote. I don't care how; just do it.
