I voted today!

It is voter day in Ohio (and Indiana) today! So make sure you go out and vote today! I even got a sticker!!!

As a side note, when I was voting, an elderly lady came in and was trying to vote. She stopped and asked the two or three people over seeing the election if they had any information on the people or issues that she was voting on. She admitted that she did not watch or listen to any local news and therefore did not know anything about the election, except that there was an election. The people overseeing the election said that the did not have any information and that if they did, they could not provide any because they did not want to be seen "pushing for one candidate or issue over another."

The lady walked out without voting.

I can see both sides of the coin on this issue, but what does it say for a citizens if they are not even engaged enough to know what they are voting about in a primary election. On my ballet there were 3 issues to vote for and only 3 different races that had multiple choices for candidates. Apparently she did not think her vote to count enough to even color in one box.

Sad.
