Voting was a nightmare!!!!! But I did my civic duty.

I realize the county I live in is not regarded as an intellectual haven...but when you have to look through the names of registered voters FOUR TIMES to find my last name...it's time to take a break and maybe go back to third grade. My last name starts with Cu...the lady literally looked through every page of C's up to Cr then started over again three times. I now know why people go crazy at polling places. And it's not because of the wait. I wanted to scream, "Look, I've been here twice, waited almost two hours, and I'm going to be late for work (again) because you don't know that U is after R? I don't think so, Scooter. Flip to the back page, I'll give you five dollars if my name ISN'T on the back page." Point of interest, I would have been able to keep my five dollars.

Other than that, I'm really excited to have voted today, I just wish I could have savored the moment more. And I'm also very excited at what seems to be high turnout. It's nice to see that fewer people are being apathetic. I guess P. Diddy's "Vote or Die" campaign was taken to heart by a few voters.
