"No Stubs"

A little song I made up while working in the ballot opening dept.

Background:

Washington State is mail-in ballots only (with drop boxes as well). Each ballot in King County (the largest in the state) has a stub at the top which is supposed to be removed by the voter; if the voter doesn't remove it, well, that becomes part of the job of the ballot openers.

So without further ado, here's my song!

(To the tune of "No Scrubs - TLC)

---

Chorus

I don't want no stubs
A stub on the ballot can't get no love from me
Hangin' off the ballot top, make the scanner stop
Try'n to break my machine

(Repeat once)

If you're a voter and you left one
Oh, yes, son I'm talkin' to you
If you didn't read the directions
Oh, yes, son I'm talkin' to you

I'm beggin' on my knees
Take the stub off please
Oh, no, I don't want no

No stubs
No stubs

(Repeat chorus)

It's better in person of course
