“Do you know where we have to go to vote tomorrow?” the young woman asked me.
They just moved here, and she is still learning her way around. I hired her as a part-time helper in my workshop, and I try to answer all her questions as good as I can.
“Sure I do, let me print it out for you,” I said and marched toward my desk.
The internet is just so convenient; one or two mouse clicks and my screen showed us our voting location -even with directions to it.
“Can you print it out for me?”
“Sure thing,” I replied and then I hesitated.
“Are you going to vote for Trump?” I asked and she laughed out loud.
“No, I won’t…this guy scares me,” she managed to say.
“Good, then I will print the map.”
(True story, happened yesterday)
Oh dear, was I trying to manipulate the election outcome? Shame on me! We have higher authorities that do it so much better than I ever could.
Well, I printed her the map.
On a serious note. Go and vote if, you haven’t done it already. Every vote counts! There is a lot at stake this time!
Second Thoughts
Ha ha. Had to check first, huh? Happy Election Day, Bridget. Hopefully, we’ll turn off our lights tonight with big sighs of relief. 🙂
I hope so to, I don’t want to think about the alternative.
Amen!
I can only imagine your anxiety…
The rest of the world is in pain , too , for this challenge : let’s keep our fingers crossed, Bridget!
Yes, please. We need it!
You can vote at any polling station? That’s interesting.
We have to go to a designated station that’s been assigned to us. Even the advanced polling stations are designated to the voter.
Well into the 21st century, I don’t understand why online voting hasn’t been figured out yet.
She lives just just a few houses down from where we live. So we have the same location. We too have to vote at a assigned polling station (school).
ahhh – ok, I was wondering how they could manage all the millions of voters.
