At our polling place they had a tablet for signing in so they had a collection of styluses (styli?), some marked “clean” and some marked “used”.
Then we took the paper they handed us and went over to the poling places (standing desks with wrap-around privacy guards) that had a pen for filling in the bubbles.
One pen.
But they tried.
A mail carrier probably dropped it in a puddle.
I’m going to Walmart for my next thing. We’re *gasp* out of cat food!
