A DAY AT THE POLLS
Taking a break from observing the goings on at my precinct.

Everything seems to be running smoothly here in Cary, NC, though the 1 Dem and 2 UNA judges don't seem to concerned about making sure Morrisville voters get the correct ballots or that partisan "voter guides" aren't left at the voting tables. And the provisional ballot process is a snafu - just hope the election board can sort them out. I was very entertained by two boxes of completed, voted ballots sitting unattended for about 5 minutes. They got locked up, though. Heck, the machine had already tabulated them.

Anyway, the moveon.org guys were there in their black T-shirts and english/spanish encouragement to report difficulties in voting. Like they expected a bunch of rich white guys with billyclubs to be beating immigrants who yearned to breathe free. Funny thing is, I think they really believe some of their BS. Dude, Republicans just don't have the time or the energy to pull off vote fraud or voter suppression. But someone has time in Philly, it seems.

And what's with you Kerry supporters? Sure, DrFrankLives is rather clean cut, but the ones at my precinct looked like they couldn't find the shower this morning or this week. And hateful too. The Republicans were kidding around, talking about the non-partisan donuts, while the Dems were grousing about this and that, shooting mean looks at voters who refused their Democratic judge voter guides. Even heard one respectable fellow tell his 4 year old son that they don't vote for Republicans because they are "evil bastards".

Let go of your hate. It only leads to the dark side.
