I was up at 4:30 to be able to get to the polling place at 6:00 and open by 7:00 ("The polls are now open!" I announced to the other poll worker), and our first voter showed up at 10:30. Then I left, to be replaced by another, at 2:00 -- and I think we had hit 8 voters by then. Total count at the end, after the evening rush, was 34. This was at JBER -- and I'm thinking, you people put your lives on the line so we can vote and WHERE ARE YOU!??? There are probably many answers to that question, and surely early/absentee voting is one, but you have to wonder how much was spent to gather those 34 votes. This is the 3rd time we have run this election site and the story has been similar each time. At least the other 2 times there were kids in the school who were entertaining to watch, but not last Tuesday! Luckily, my cohort and I had plenty to chat about and had brought our knitting. <br />Robynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02508563945310095053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4211773395857840723.post-18153639592961368362016-08-17T23:06:36.090-08:002016-08-17T23:06:36.090-08:00Thanks!Thanks!CloudyinAKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04354513104617596508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4211773395857840723.post-40960668647446918062016-08-17T22:12:19.880-08:002016-08-17T22:12:19.880-08:00Who said statistics were [and wow, that verb choic...Who said statistics were [and wow, that verb choice was/were gets confusing as collective noun rules are very picky in the UK] dull and lifeless?
