10 bucks says my riding is the last to come in

6:00 Off the bus, and on my way to vote.

6:05 I see school #1, I am certain I am suppose to vote at school #2, but check out #1 just in case. I go in, and am met with hospitality and no lineup - they inform me, school #2 is the school to go. Okay.

6:10 I am in school #2. It has two lineups. Alright. I lineup in line B, find out that it is for people who have not registered and switch to lineup A. I wait here for a while. I get to the front and see my brother's name, my mom's name, my dad's name (all of whom are not voting) and do not see my name. That's right people, I am not registered to vote...what?!?!

6:30 I am in line B registering to vote. And while in the line see so many problems - the inefficiency of the lineups (as we line up the voting stations are near empty because of this backlog); the lineups are long; people do not have two pieces of ID; People come to the wrong polling stations; and people cannot be helped when they show up at the wrong polling station (why do we not have computers to search this when it is available is beyond me). If I was not peer-pressured into voting I too would leave ;)

6:50 I am done and hungry (but don't worry, even when I saw all those problems, I smiled, talked to people in the lineup, said my thank-yous to the volunteers, and was in a chipper mood...catch me on another day though and you may be surprised). I leave and walk home and met with some dogs who like to bark... a lot.

7:00 I am home
