Yalls polls arenāt private? People are watching you vote?
They practically wrapped me in a secluded bubble today when voting. They left no chance of anyone knowing what I voted in NY.
They have this tendency to turn to the person next to them and say, āI need a democratic ballot, pleaseā when Iām giving the poll worker my information. And suddenly the whole place turns and stares angrily at you. Iām an extreme minority where Iām at.
Voter intimidation is against federal law, in a day and age where everyone and their mom carries a recording device of some sort this sounds outlandish.
Or go somewhere that has good iced cream.
I mean, itās a bunch of elderly poll workers who are lucky they still remember their names out in a barn doing voting stuff in the middle of nowhere farmland. They donāt think of these things. They just needed a ballot from the other pile.
Youāre joking right?

Just from my own perspective, Texas is a very, very, very hostile place to be sometimes. At others times, it can be sweet tea sugar sweet kindness. o.O
Every day is āthat dayā when I wake up breathing.
Been so long since Iāve had one of these! Such a great combo

TBH I would prob tell them to f off and Iām not joking. If they want to shoot me on camera in front of 300 witnesses, have at it. I saw nothing like that in the battleground state that I voted in this morning. Everyone was nice and calm and I put my ballot in the intake slot thing and got my cool sticker. This was in a large-ish city for the area.
I guess anyone can stand anywhere to a point. But you also have to just go be a citizen and vote.
Let The Popcorning Begin!
do you have polling day dogs where you are? itās my fav thing about elections here. well, that and taking bets on how long this prime minister will last (remember, a pm is for life, not just for christmas).
I agree. Thanks for voting.
Wow, thatās strange. We have one ballot. Everyone gets the same one. You can vote all Republican, all Democrat or split your ticket. Seems safer that way.
Just go get some ice cream already !!
I assume this is some American thing?
As an Aussie I cannot relate to your post, other than Iām always happy to eat ice cream.
I got Pizza, does that count?
