Does anyone actually like voting in person best?
I love it, the entire experience. It is a "grown up" thing, it is official, it is secret, it means your opinion is valid. I get mail in ballots but I always take them in in person. I am proud of the entire process. Seeing MY name on a list, sliding my envelope into the official box, knowing that the poll workers are happy to see me, the quiet room where serious people are trying to fill the forms out and not mess up, and getting a sticker that says I VOTED for my dog, one for myself and a sheet of them in 4 different languages (for my first graders who voted all year long when I was a teacher), walking home from the polls feeling civic pride. I even save the booklets to see the results. I can see all of my dog's stickers on all of her stuffed animals from years of voting too.
HAPPY VOTING EVERYONE!

13. I've never had an employer not give me the day off when I asked because I'd volunteered

to work a precinct as a judge. One boss even saw that I got paid "like jury duty," she said.
Our county went to mail ballots & now working the precinct is like working at a dying mall. Hardly anyone comes in to vote. But our precinct is at an assisted living place & the people there love it–it generates excitement. And they have an excellent cafeteria & they feed us two wonderful meals a day, gratis, cuz they like having us there. |
