Let me tell you about our cathexis voting adventure today.
In AZ to vote in person you must have one of two things: A valid driver’s license or two forms of ID, but not credit cards — must be a water bill or electric bill, that sort of thing.

We drove to our precinct which on the paper they send to you was in Chandler where we live. We drove up and down the street and no precinct. Nada. Nothing. We drove home.

I called the precinct’s disability number and Cyber did the computer thing. The disability number asked no less than 40 questions by some subhuman computer. Press 1 for English, press 2 for Spanish, press 3 for whatever. That was the easy part. With the English, you were asked to Press 1 if you are a dem, press 2 if you are a pub, press 3 if you are a libertarian, ad naseaum. After that, there were questions on God knows what. I hung up.

Cyber in the meantime is on the computer looking up the Baptist Church where our polling place in Chandler is. There is no Baptist Church in Chandler on the street that was given to us.

I got on my computer and pulled up Chandler maps and how to get from our home to the address for the Baptist Church in Chandler. None. Then I pulled up the address on the precinct. It’s a main road through town.

Guess what? The Baptist Church was in another town, Mesa. We found it on the computer. Get in the car and drive there.

There’s more. Just keep popping that popcorn.

We get back into my SUV and drive there. No problem.

We walk into the polling place and Cyber hands the little lady his driver’s license and voting card. No good. Here in AZ your driver’s license is good for 20 years or so. Cyber had moved since his original DL, and had the new address on the back. Nope, illegal. Can’t vote even with your voter’s registration card, and as I said before, credit cards with your name on them don’t count.

Cyber doesn’t carry around electric bills and such. So there was a little problem, and more people are lining up. Cyber just told them, “I’m not going to vote.”

I voted with no problem, except now I’m PO’d. I showed the good lady my DL compared to Cyber’s DL. My DL is only seven years old. They were not going to let him vote, even with his name on the voting register. Another man called some head guy at the voting place. Nope, Cyber can’t vote.

We’re walking back to the SUV, and in the glove compartment has my insurance info. My gosh, Cyber’s name was on it, too.

We marched back in. Got to the head of the line, and Cyber finally got to vote. I’ll tell you who we didn’t vote for, that A-H McCain.

I hope your voting was easier than ours.

Now I’m not so depressed. I don’t think McCain will win this state because of our two darned votes. Thank you ever so much.

Thanks for the ping, Whyisa!
