Voting!
Posted by Sharon on Tue, Nov 4, 2008 at 12:30 PM
A friend reports from Astoria: "This morning was a MESS at PS 166, they had no idea how to deal with the volume of turnout, which is both positive in terms of the volume of turnout itself and terrifying in terms of the archaic jumble that, lets just say, did nothing for my faith in the system...and I was thinking 'If this is like this HERE, wtf is it like in Ohio?'" She also referred to the voting machines as "older than my parents," although, I guess, as least they're not Diebold?
Oh, and sidenote for anyone who tries to get their free cup of "I Voted" Starbucks coffee at a Barnes & Noble Starbucks -- you can't. They won't do it. You have to go to a "real Starbucks," said the disgruntled employee I spoke with who said he had poured cups that went unsold several times due to the confusion. Balls.
Leave your voting and polling-place missives, complains, and shout-outs in the comments.
