voting

I voted for the first time today! I have a few complaints about my local elections office though...

-finding out where I could vote was very confusing. A list of all the polling places was in the paper and online, but the way things were organized, some polling places for Hampton Township, were actually in the city of Mechanicsburg, which is its own district.

-To add to the confusion all of these locations had numbers at the end from 1-5. I have no clue what these numbers stand for and while they were in the paper and on the web, they were not anywhere outside the actual polling places, which in some cases were very close together.

Well, today was the Primary Election for our city. My boyfriend and I requested early ballots because we thought it was the 6th and we were out of the country then.

I was suprised because there was no polling place on campus; which I think is ridiculous. 30,000 people on campus and no place to vote.
I had to walk about 7 or 8 city blocks to drop our ballots off, in the rain, but it was the only option... (because not voting is NOT an option!)

"I would be really disappointed if Hillary Clinton were the first woman president," said Medea Benjamin, a self-described feminist and founder of Code Pink, a women-initiated antiwar group based in Venice, Calif.

Molly Ivins, the Texan who routinely blasts President Bush, declared that she would not back Clinton for president in a January column published by The Free Press, a nonprofit organization sponsored by the Columbus Institute for Contemporary Journalism in Ohio. "Enough triangulation, calculation and equivocation," she wrote. "Enough clever straddling. Enough not offending anyone."
