Before work, I drove by John F. Kennedy Middle School on Outer
Drive and 7th Street in Ecorse and cast my vote. Despite the steady
drizzle, turnout was strong, but the nearsighted little old ladies
manning the desks were efficient and kept the line moving. I saw what
appeared to be a single poll-observer, but no obvious party reps doing
the challenge/intimidation thing. I’m happy about that, because I
imagine I would have quickly gone AngryNegro had anyone challenged my
voting qualifications.
Also, my polling place uses ancient slide-lever machines that I am pretty sure are the same ones I remember my mom using 30 years ago when she took me with her to vote. They’re nothing to look at, but no one’s going to pwn them with a boot floppy.
