I took the oath and put on my “Election Judge” sticker for the third time last week. ‘Twas quite a departure from a year ago: as opposed to the nearly 2,100 voters passing through my precinct then, we had merely 85 (including five absentee ballots!) yesterday. The only offices on the ballot were city council and school board, but still…a disappointing turn-out.

Sitting at the polling place for 141/2 hours did, however, give me an opportunity to converse quite a bit with my fellow election judges. What an eye-opener! I found out many things:
  • Health care is just fine in the U.S. – if you can afford it – so we should stop trying to make it so “socialist.” Especially because there was this one person from Poland who said that their universal health care was OK most of the time, but he knew a woman who died from breast cancer because she had to wait a month for a mammogram.

  • ACORN has been changing elections with their wicked ways.

  • The “Big Bang” theory is ridiculous. God created the Universe.

  • If you fill a write-in vote with a nonexistent candidate then your entire ballot should be discarded.

  • The Internet is funded entirely by pornography.

  • The United States is a Christian nation, blessed specifically by God in the Bible.

  • People in the U.S. don’t care about life any more because of the millions and millions of babies we kill every year with abortions.
