US Voting in Philadelphia

Yesterday my mother woke Kiana and I up at 6:50am to take us to the
polls. We got there around 7:30am along with my grandmother and aunt.
Once we got in there it was already hectic, the woman who worked there
was asking what division everyone was in, like it was a known fact or
something. She then lined my family and I, along with other people, in
a line designated "10th district". Nobody that was in the line knew
what the 10th district was, the woman just assigned us to the line so
we stood there. Aftewe grew angry from standing in a line that wasn't
going anywhere, and wasn't even headed towards a polling booth, my
grandmother asked the woman what was going on. After they had an
argument about districts, the woman finally headed us towards a line
that was actually going somewhere.

    The polling places were hectic and people grew frustrated by the long wait.
I know that nobody was really prepared for the long lines, but that's
no reason for people who arsuppose to help you out at the poles to get
frustrated.
