VOTE EARLY AND VOTE OFTEN!!!!!

Problems at my voting place: It's a fire house. They put the voting machines
at the top of an extended ladder. If you can't climb, you can't vote. And,
the extension cord keeps losing its grip on the machine's short cord. They
can't tie a loose knot to keep them together because the fire chief says
it's dangerous to bend wires that way.

They say there shouldn't be a problem, though.

Sounds like you have a Republican fire chief.

A friend just called to say that at her polling place, they have a table
covered with plastic cups filled with water. Candidates' names are attached
to the cups. You have to stand behind a tape line on the floor and try to
toss ping pong balls into the correct cups for your candidates. Even if you
miss, you get to take home a goldfish. If you're registered to the same
political party as the biggest commercial real estate developer in her town,
you get a few extra chances to throw.

Naw. Requiring voters to climb a ladder discriminates against the
fossil contingency. The majority of those old folks tottering in on
walkers are voters that a Republican fire chief would
definitely want to see accommodated. A really clever Republican fire
chief would order a series of fire drills, about an hour apart, that
would require mandatory evacuation of the polling places down at the
local university. (Put down the flame throwers, please- that was a
joke).

Elect the goldfish.... safer that way.
