I didn't have to wait long, but there were several people in the precinct. I had the same poll volunteer that I have had the previous three elections. And again, she couldn't get my last name right, even after I handed her two forms of I.D., pronounced it for her, spelled it....argghhhh! And after I repeated the first letter of my last name FOUR flippin' times, she still insisted it was something different. She looked like she was around back when they voted for Caveman Captain using rocks for chads. Sheese.

Anyhow, there were far more "Jeb!" bumper stickers in the parking lot than there were other (or non-stickered) cars. The ballot was a bubble type (fill in the blank circle) as usual, complete with GIANT PRINT instructions. No police. No one turned away that I saw.

I was sick as a dog today, so no work & had to cancel a doctor's appointment. I even called the Rep. party to see if they were driving folks to the polls, because I wasn't sure I could make it. He seemed to indicate they really didn't have an organized program for driving people to the polls, which I thought was upsetting. He also said more 'Rats were voting than Reps. I said, yes, well, that's to be expected, considering how heavily 'Rat Volusia is. Anyway, I dragged myself down to the polls around 3 and was able to vote, no waiting. I believe they were indicating that they were short of some ballots (& expecting more). I was too under the weather to try and find out what was going on. My precinct consistently has screw-ups. That's happened before to me, and last time my ballot was missing a runoff race that should have been on the ballot.
