Rock the Vote

Momoko had the day off because her school is used for election voting. She was getting ready to leave to go vote when the lines were short. I got some time off work and joined her. We drove the short distance to the local school. There was no parking.

I advised Momoko to just park by the curb. It is not illegal. She decided instead to leave the school and go park out in the neighborhood. We walked from her car to the school, noticing a house that had a front door which seemed oddly higher than the stair that lead up to it.

Inside the school, pandemonium, was starting. First we had to go to the far end of the room to check in. Then we were told to stand in the middle line. I saw no middle. But eventually I found a table that represented where the middle lines should start.

We got in another line to vote. It was easy to fill out the ballot. We knew all the questions ahead of time. This year they had paper ballots where you used a pen to fill in an oval. Then we got in yet another line to scan our ballots.

Afterwards we picked up some Chinese food. At home, Little Kat arrived shortly after us. He had voted already too. He got to park in the school parking lot. He was jealous that we got delicious food, but he did not get any.
