my impatience their incompetence

four items to remember on one of the most important days of the year, for our state, and for our country. election day, the primaries to decide who runs for next president of the united states, the most powerful, important person in the world. four items, the voter register list, a pen, the box to put the ballot and the ballot, and a simple one at that, fill in one box, and go home, only they ran out of ballots and we had to wait while someone ran off to arroyo hondo to get more , but wait, the rumor in the line is arroyo hondo is out of ballots also. julie and i got inside out of the cold and snow but there was a long line of eldorado-ians stuck outside waiting. just how long was the wait, not to long, two volunteers came in with extra ballots and we moved on. don't they know that el dorado votes at higher than 70%, of course they do unless they're asleep. how did this happen? didn't anyone count last year's register list, add up the numbers, add on say 20% for some error and at the very least have some sort of back up plan, like whose got an extra copy machine. hey i do, i'd have volunteered the use of it to preserve democracy and our way of life, i would have even baked cookies if they'd asked me to, but heck i had to get to the gym and then pickup a movie , go home for my shortribs. i'll bet the governor had a ballot, and not a zerox copy either. jgk
