the thing itself and not the myth

As we all know, I vote absentee, but I find it comforting to take my ballot to the closest poll to my office and slide it into the secure box.

If I can get a sticker, so much the better.

Today at lunch, after spending a bit of the morning figuring out the last few items, I took it on over to the local community center. There was no line, though things were a little busier than they have been in prior elections.

I slipped my ballot into the box, asked the lovely poll worker for my sticker, and headed off to get lunch. On my way out I was stopped by a gentleman, likely a newer citizen. He wanted to make sure he knew which people on the ballot were Democrats, so I showed him in the pamphlet, and found an endorsement sheet for this district.

It was kind of awesome.

My sticker says “farewell to polls” because this is the last election in King County before it switches over to 100% vote by mail. I’m kind of sad about that.

Go Obama! Go Gregoire! Go Mass Transit! And NO NO NO on Prop 8.
