But........and understand I claim senior citizen prerogative to make this observation without bias since I am one myself.......... Most of the workers at my polling location this morning need to remain in their nursing homes. Mass confusion over simple matters, blaming each other over the confusion, an embarrassing example of senior citizens performing a civic duty. From the time I walked in until I cast my vote their was confusion. On exiting the booth the Judge of Election even came over to me and apologized for the mass confusion and disarray. I again exercised my non-discriminatory right as a senior citizen since I am one myself and told the judge these people are trying their best but it's time for them to retire, they were quite simply incompetent to function on the level required which was really rather basic. By far my worst experience ever with these over the hill workers. Rant over, TG we do not have to vote too often. 1Tigerlily 1

So I have been absentee voting for years. Even so... my advice to all is: VOTE!!!!! Awards

Jeez Cobra where do I start? I am not even sure what you are talking about. Lets see, first off my post is NOT POLITICAL, it is about how people perform at their job. It just happened to be at a polling location. Absolutely nothing political about my post. How you managed to classify that as Political is beyond me. Unless by another post adding "Vote" that offends your political sensibilities? Hardly can be called political. And lastly can you show me where the Political Forum is that I am supposed to post in if I were to make a political post? Or did you perhaps forgot that is not an option for non-members? As far as I can tell there was no reason to shout "ONLY!!" at those of us who posted. Edited November 6, 2012 by Shamu 1Tigerlily and Bama 2

It is a command to do something or I will kick your ass. Bama and Shamu 2 Awards

This is NOT a political post, it is a post about poll workers. There are no comments on political agenda or suggestions on who to vote for in this post. All is well, stand down.

However, not all seniors are slow and can do a fine job.

However, not all seniors are slow and can do a fine job. Send a few of them to my polling location. As a continuing comment my next door neighbors went to vote in the evening and, unsolicited, commented to me on how long it took to get through the line to cast their vote. I was lucky, when I went there was no line and I got processed immediately, it just took awhile to get it done. 1Tigerlily 1
