Well I ordered an early ballot but in true M behavior I didn't fill it out till Sunday >.> so I had to run out today to drop off my ballot. The place that was selected for my area is in Sun City. Now for a quick background on Sun City it's a retirement community meaning you have to be at least 55 (I think) to even live there. Now the streets appear to be have been designed by someone who hates the elderly... hell scratch that they hate everyone. There is not logic or intelligent layout to speak of. The streets wind and bevy out at odd moments forcing you to slow down constantly. I guess they want people who aren't elderly to be forced to DRIVE like they are elderly IE like you did a pound of pot and then washed that down with a keg of beer.
So I left the house at 6:12 and the polls close at 7 on the dot (if you're in line before then you get to vote regardless of the time but I guess you get turned away if you show up after 7) I didn't end up at the polls until 6:45. I live only a handful of miles away from the polling place but it took me that long to get there due to a combination of shitty directions and construction. The tiny map they sent me and my father that shows the location of the polling place was dreadfully done. Only the major streets were shown which left the polling place floating in a sea of white with no indication as to what street you turn off of to get to it! In fact the map indicated it was located BEFORE 91st ave when in fact it was AFTER 91st ave. I was left driving around the convoluted streets of Sun City circling around (more so trying to circle around since construction and poorly designed streets kept thwarting me) trying to find where to vote.
Now that that's over I'm waiting with baited breath to find out who wins. My vote was for Obama :D
