A few years ago I had just returned from the polls during a midterm election. The polls were still open when I was at a nearby grocery store and asked the cashier if she’d voted yet. She said she didn’t have time.

I voted one afternoon after work for our school board & budget (which is in the spring, so angry voters don’t vent on our property tax-consuming schools); I was the thrid person in my district to vote. The property taxes (often over $7K) are among the highest in the nation, and nobody could be bothered (they actually are just incredibly ignorant and passive).

Our town has 40K people in it.

I know that feeling. I help at the polls during each election cycle. I stay late; meet up with hubby for dinner. We ask people if they voted; they come up with such odd responses like there's no time to go/ just don't care/does not matter what happens—to Oh, what was that today.. etc..Now, my 92 year aunt and another elderly uncle are voting. They both said no one will stop each from voting.
