I was almost confronted this morning at the polls |
|
I vote in a small precinct, where usually the poll workers are bored. This morning there was a line and I was number 62 (I voted about 7:30, so this was really good) and there were 10 behind me. When I came outside, a guy was standing by my car with an ugly face, looking at my bumper stickers. When he saw me and realized that I was an older woman with grey temples, he went to his truck, that sported W04 stickers and one for Matt Blunt, Missouri's Republican candidate for governor.
If I had been a guy, I'd probably have been yelled at or gotten into a fight.
Is this how it is going to be all day???

3. In some places, probably |

Most of the bumper stickers in my precinct were for Frost & Kerry/Edwards.
Yay!

4. That guy better get used to it. |
|
There are more of you out there - and there is not much he can do about it. But be careful all the same.

I was told to remove my "Veterans for Kerry" button while waiting in line. In all my years of voting in SC (since 1976) I have seen numerous people wearing buttons for specific candidates and never were they asked to remove them.
I fear that if the repukes win, fascism and intimidation will become even more prevalent in this country.
Go Kerry!

10. It was very civil, and extremely busy, in Derry, NH |
|
I stood there with a sign for a couple of hours after voting. The look I recognized on most of the voters was grim resolve. LOTS of people holding Kerry signs, easily five times more than holding Rethug signs.
