Got Me So Down, I Got Me a Headache.
Nov. 2nd, 2004 10:50 amYes, I do have a real headache. And I'm antsy and worried. But I voted.
Since everyone seems to be wondering, the line was longer than usual, but still relatively short. The polling place was actually divided into four tables, red, yellow, green, and orange. I don't know what they were meant to represent, but they were part of the official poll location. (That is, on my sample ballot, it specifically directed me to the Yellow Desk). One of the desks was much busier than the others, since a worker was constantly bringing people up through the line to feed the other desks. So, while there was a line, I didn't have to wait more than two minutes to get a ballot.
Things were very well organized. Each table had five workers. The first volunteer found your name and directed you to sign in. The nxt worker crossed the name off the list. The third person demonstrated the voting system (even though I had already used it during the primaries). The fourth handed over the ballot. And the fifth took the ballot after it had been marked and put it into the box.
There seems to be less construction today. I hope I can get some sleep.
MonNYTX: 3:40. One error. TueNYTX: 4:18. Probably would have been faster, but AcrossLite provided an angst-inducing surprise.
