What Is This, Afganistan?
Went down to cast my ballot at good old Massachusetts Ward 5, Precinct 2 today and was shocked to find a line longer than the ones for the bathrooms at Fenway. Let it be known that I was voting back before it was cool, back when turnout was threatening to drop below 50%.
There were a lot of 73-year-old grandmas, not too many poll watchers for poor old Massachusetts though. Two suggestions for election officials:
1. Switch some voters from Ward 5 to Ward 21. Polling for both groups was held at the same place this morning, but the line for Ward 5 was 300 people and the line for Ward 21 was, well there was no line.
2. Speaking of that, how in the world are Wards 5 & 21 anywhere near each other? Shouldn't Ward 5 be located in the same general area as 4 & 6? Does this make any sense?
