Election work

Yesterday I worked as an election judge during the election.  A long day as the polls were open from 7 am to 8 pm.  Donna usually works along with me, but due to her recent health problem, her doctor told her not to work such a long day.  Her sister Jane filled in for Donna.  

It was a busy day as many people voted, certainly more than who voted during the Primary this Spring.  We had eight voting booths, but the election department had to bring us four extra voting booths to try to eliminate the line of people waiting to fill out their voting ballot.  And this is even with more people these days voting by absentee ballot.

Donna had made chill for us election workers to eat; and other people brought crockpots of food, or pots of soup, for all workers to share.  Lots of excellent food.

In the end, all went well, and we had a successful day.
