12 FEB 08 I VOTED

The VA Primary was today
Voting is important to me

But I gotta tellya . . . VA is just about as antiquated and behind the times as FLA (sorry, Dave)
It took over an hour to do something that, in this technological age, should not take any time at all

The little old ladies with reading glasses who are hard of hearing that thumb thru the six-inch thick books of names
and the snail-like process just to get to the point of actually casting an electronically tabulated vote . . . .
AAAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHHHHHH
Just validates the voter frustration . . .

That being said . . and now that I have settled in to my sweats and some dinner . . .I'm glad I did it
And I'm a lot less crabby . . .for now

Plus the rainy weather did not allow for "spring" foto

Canon PowerShot S5 IS

So clever... you don't run out of ideas to shoot, do you??? Thanks for the "little old ladies", they keeps things honest...we are "lucky" in Florida, we have early voting. I never vote on the election day especially when they have early voting center right at my work place.

BTW, I think you use of the "stars" and neutral background demonstrate your growing prowess in Photoshop!

Good for you to have the patience. And I agree w/your complaint. Can yo do absentee ballots?

I'll be voting on 3/4....and I can understand the frustration but I'll soon be their age so I won't gripe too much. Enjoy that meal! Looks like it was well deserved!

I fully understand your frustration with antiquated polling procedures.
I wish Florida voting was simply antiquated; and not overtly corrupt.
It is good to hear you got to vote before the bad weather set in.
