Okay, so wooo I just voted! There was some crazyness at the poll place though. My name wasn’t on the roster so I had to fill out additional paperwork for a provisional ballot. I got to vote, so it’s all that matters. The other thing that happened was that the poll workers didn’t know that there were people from two different districts going to the same place, so some of the ballots had 3 choices for senator, and some had 2. Sooo most of us had to start over. My parents and I went kind of early, so not that many people would have had the opportunity to turn in the messed up ballots, but it sucks for those who did. That’s pretty dumb that Long Beach got divided into 3 different districts. Yep. In additon to my “i voted” sticker, I gave myself a stamp with the InkaVote thing, haha.
I hope none of you guys have any problems at the polls!
edit@9:54: So my dad called the newspaper and reported the messup with the ballots and districts, and now there are reporters calling me and asking me questions. It’s kind of exciting, but at the same time annoying since I was in the middle of a shower when a reporter called me back again. My only wish is that if my name is in the newspaper, they don’t switch the story up and make me seem like… a dumb 18 year old first time voter. If they pass me off as a smart one, however, I think I’ll manage to handle that.
