Election Day 11.03.09

 

 

I went to the Kendrick recreation center and talked to a senior lady working at the poll.  It seemed as those most of the people I saw there were fairly old, actually.  I asked her if she had been there last year for the Presidential election, and she said yes.  When I asked her is it was much difference from this year she nodded vigorously.  Last year there was a line of voters the entire day.  At the time I was there the room was pretty much empty.  
    The turnout was much less than last year, and apparently the place I went to had been doing better compared to other polling places.  Last year voters of all ages came.  She said there were a lot of enthusiastic young voters then, but not so many now.  Thats one of the reasons she enjoys working there.  She likes to meet new people and see them interested in voting.  When I asked her why she thought it was so slow, she said people don't see as much significance in this type of election because its mostly just judges.  Working there mostly just involves paper work/checking and double checking all sorts of lists.  Other than that, she said "the job is easy."
