a stumper

They say all knowledge is contained in fandom, and I just got asked a stumper.

If you do early voting, and your candidate dies before the actual election day, does your vote automatically go to that party's new candidate, or what? (He assures me that he doesn't know anything I don't know on this. *grin*)

Third time's the charm

I was gonna be so clever, I was gonna be so smart. I was gonna go do early voting Monday in the middle of the day when we got back from OVFF - surely it would be the quickest, easiest way. The line was insaaaaane. We went home.

Friday I thought surely it would be slow in the evening. It's Friday, it's Halloween fer crying out loud. No one will be there. I went, saw the line, and asked a woman coming out of the school how long she'd waited. She said four hours, and when I asked how long the line had been she pointed to a spot a good fifty feet UP from where it ended in front of me. I went home.

Today I figured hell with it - the lines will be long, but if I'm in line when they close they have to let me vote. I went after work.

Friends, there was no line. At all. A half hour after I left work I pulled in to our parking lot, having proudly and carefully placed my vote.

The moral of this story, if there is one, is simple. Clever counts for not half so much as timing. :P

But dammit, I am DONE!
