Re: The morning after....... (OT)

[Guest guest]

Jan, You take it easy today! What a day you had, glad you enjoyed it

though, I'm sure it was fun to get out there.

I'm sorry your not feeling to good, I hope it don't last long. I

don't get out much either, I catch things so easily myself.

You take care, and my prayers are with you, T

Sounds like you had an exhausting but rewarding day. Voter turnout

everywhere was higher than ever. It¹s great that so many more people voted.

I hope you feel better. The disadvantage of being in the public is being

exposed to everyone¹s germs.

Rest and drink plenty of fluids.

Thank you for doing that important job! People couldn't vote without

you. Both my parents did the same thing this year, and although it

was a long, hard day yesterday, I know they were proud to be part of

the process.

I was voter #33 in my precinct. The lady behind me knew what voter #

she had been in the last three elections, so I decided I'd remember

mine. I just moved to that area, and had to go through some hoops to

get my old county to transfer my registration to the new one, but

they got it done in time! I had a hanger on my door when I got home

after work that said, " GO VOTE! " and then at 7:15 two women knocked

on my door and asked if I had gone to vote. I'm glad more people

cared about voting this year, and I hope that continues.

Good work, Jan! Sorry you aren't feeling great, but you sacrificed your

health for a worthy cause.

I took my oldest to the polls with me yesterday for her first chance to

vote. It was very exciting for both of us.

Hope you feel much better very soon.

I'll tell you where to go!

The 'morning after' was seeing red for me. We have lived and voted at the

same place in our community for 25 years, but not this year! I should have

stopped in when I passed the polling place earlier but didn't. We went at

about 5:15 and there was a big line of at least 10 standing there. When we

got to the registration table our names couldn't be found, but our daughter

and son, who lived next door at different times and NEVER voted were listed.

We would have to drive in the rain and dark country roads for about 25 miles

each way and still couldn't vote on items in our precinct. I'm going to try

to find out who the moron was that made that decision. Bottom line is that

we didn't vote because of a stupid 'Uh-ho' by someone with a high-paying

job. Maybe I can get hired for that job, I can mess lots of people up.

The 'morning after' was seeing red for me. We have lived and voted at the

same place in our community for 25 years, but not this year! I should have

stopped in when I passed the polling place earlier but didn't. We went at

about 5:15 and there was a big line of at least 10 standing there. When we

got to the registration table our names couldn't be found, but our daughter

and son, who lived next door at different times and NEVER voted were listed.

We would have to drive in the rain and dark country roads for about 25 miles

each way and still couldn't vote on items in our precinct. I'm going to try

to find out who the moron was that made that decision. Bottom line is that

we didn't vote because of a stupid 'Uh-ho' by someone with a high-paying

job. Maybe I can get hired for that job, I can mess lots of people up.

we've lived here 16 years and my husband got sent to vote across the street from

where I got sent. WEIRD!

Usually here voter turnout is like 22%.but it was 77% for this election. Only

my husband said to me GET GOING GO VOTE, LOL. We had a sick kid home so we took

turns- but we only go 2 blocks, I vote at the kids school he votes across the

street at a church. Neither of us ran into any lines, I walked right in and was

out in under 2 minutes. I sure was surprised later to hear of lines in so many

areas. I was glad so many people voted.
