I ...I had an issue with an election worker this AM. I was in the P-Z line when it suddenly split into two, and a person near me encouraged me to go into the new line. So I did. When I went to the front, the woman told me I was in the wrong line - it was now a S line and a T-Z line, and my last name starts with an S. <br /><br />No matter, I just moved over to the next guy (cut in front of everyone else) but he couldn't find my name. Turns out he's illiterate; other people were helping him find their last names, too. Go figure. <br /><br />When I went to the next table to pick up my ballot, the workers wouldn't stop chattering at me...I had no idea what they were saying. I gestured that I was deaf and they stopped talking and just handed me the ballot, showed me to fill out both sides, and pointed to the booths where I could fill out the ballot. Why were they talking so much about? No idea.Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15288732163125976401noreply@blogger.com
