I was trying to remember when I first voted, I think it was for McGovern, but I'm not sure. I was young and politically very liberal back then.

The Mrs. and I did last week along with our youngest two who had no interest in anything we had to say. We got to play with our new optical scan machines. It's just not as satisfying as the old ones where you pull the levers and have that big lever for the curtain. Coloring in a circle and sticking it in what looks like a shredder just doesn't seem as official.
It was easy for the checkers to find our names on the list, ours was considerably shorter than the Democratic one. I joked with the lady at the desk that she probably hadn't been all that busy that day and she just kind of "harumphed" me. No sense of humor.
One strange thing, there is still a registered "voter" in at our address that hasn't been there in over 40 years at least. My wife tried to get it removed after the last presidential election but it's nearly impossible, the person has to do it themselves. She could be dead for all I know. Guess who got called for jury duty?
(It is the first time we've ever seen any jury duty notices for her). No wonder so much voting fraud takes place.
