Voting In The Dark
Not figuratively - literally. I showed up to my polling place early this morning, and there was a little light coming from the sky. Not quite dawn, but it was getting there. And that meager light somehow managed to outshine what was present inside the polling place itself. While the doors were open and the equipment was present, somebody had forgotten to actually turn the lights on. And, since they were under lock and key (the Salvation Army takes their electric bill very seriously, evidently), the poll workers were forced to read their paper, eat donuts, and occasionally handle a voter in the dark. I did manage to cast my ballot with the help of overhead lights - they just took me to a different room were security was a bit more lax and they’d found the switch.
