I voted today
Nov. 5th, 2013 05:59 pmI have to say I'm disappointed. Sure, it was a ghost town, with very clearly deeply bored attendants sitting around. I wasn't expecting much, we didn't have a lot going on. But I was expecting to get to vote on the longer beer sales on Sunday for the Kroger's in town. Not on the ballot in my precinct.
More amusing to me was the fact that, for school board, there were two people running for hmm, I'm thinking it was three spots? Maybe four? And there were three write-in spaces shown. Must be something that's like a late filing to run, rather than a true write-in. For the village council there were three people running for four spots open, but no write-ins. Sure, we're not Michigan, let alone Ann Arbor, but where's our 20-lb carp write-in candidate?
I thought I might cast zero actual votes, but I realized one of the village council candidates might be less stupid than the others (who have shown themselves to be problems in the past), so I gave him a vote of my confidence.
I declined a sticker on my way out, because they're still using those insultingly idiotic ones that read "I (shape of the state of Ohio colored in red) VOTING". Should they ever change back to the more appropriate "I voted today" I will be sure to snap one up and wear it proudly.
