Waiting
in line to vote
An
extensive ballot, many many first time voters, three voting machines,
and a turnout far beyond expectations. Ohio law, as we were repeatedly
reminded, limits voters to five minutes in the voting booth -- barely
long enough for many people to read through the ballot, it seemed.
The five minute limit was not being enforced, though one of the poll
judges kept trying to get another (who was supervising the machines)
to do something about it. The second poll worker never went further
than to politely suggest that the voter attempt to take less than
five minutes (while acting as though she didn't think it likely at
all that the voter actually would finish in less than five minutes).
A
stray child running rampant about the voting room provided some drama
when she attempted to unplug one of the voting machines. She was chased
off and captured in time.
Dave
Kolbe (lobbyist for the AFL-CIO) walked the hallway, calling the elections
board on his cellphone; he was never successful at getting an additional
voting machine delivered.
