VOTING STORIES: AT LONG LAST.

CurryCio writes in:

I got to the polling booth by 7, but there was already a long line ahead of me. I was expecting that and had come armed with my Kindle.

The guy behind me, in the line, was telling another voter that he hadn't voted or even registered to vote in 20 years. He had been moving around a lot and didn't have the time to register or give much thought to elections. He had recently moved from Louisiana to Texas, but this time he registered to vote. He registered twice to make sure that he'll get his card on time. I turned back and smiled at him when he said that. He was in his late fifties and looked excited to be there.



COMMENTS

Forgot to add, that was in Dallas County, TX.

I want to see a post from white people clubbed by black panthers in West Philly. PFTAW should be all over this and it isn't even on this site. Wake up you sheep, its freedom of speach in the City of Brotherly Love .... until you say too much!
