It was a horror show. First my polling place is almost a half a mile away from my house. Secondly I have to decide to vote before work, during lunch, or after work. I decide on the morning, but suddenly I am frozen trying to decide whether to vote first or get my morning coffee first.
Vote first.
So I drive to the polling place and I have to take a parking spot that is literally not right next to the door, it’s like three spots away. Somehow I manage to fight past the non-existent poll watchers to get inside where I am forced to wait while someone looks up my name. Finally after about 10 seconds I am finally asked to sign and handed a ballot, but suspiciously I am not allowed to choose a pen but I am handed one instead. There are donuts, but there is not a maple bar, so I have to settle for a glazed. Unfortunately a couple of the polling desks are taken so I am forced to use one of the the only 6 remaining ones.
The ballot shockingly is in several languages, but thankfully English is one of them and thankfully it is at the very top. So I start to fill in my ovals, so many ovals. Democracy is hard! Finally after a full 5 minutes I am able to say I am done and I am then asked to put them in to a mysteriously secure iScanner or something. Nonetheless I do as I am told by the suspiciously helpful gentleman and handed a sticker. I quickly leave as I may be slightly late to work after I go get my coffee. The whole ordeal took me at least ten minutes.
Let me tell you this election is totally rigged against us white guys in the suburbs.
