I just came from the precinct which is a stone’s throw from our place.
And I have to rant, it was a horrifying experience. >_>
First, ever since I turned 18 I had been a regular voter. Everything had always been smooth flowing, fast and precise. Everything was organized and you will stay for only a few minutes to have your votes completed.
An hour ago, me and my dad went to the same precinct only to find this very long line of frowning people, who are fanning themselves from the extreme heat and hearing heated complaints from nearby bystanders.
In short, everybody was so pissed on how the new voting system somehow affected the progress of voting. From the new automated system installed, it would seem instead of making the voting system easier, everybody’s newfound learnings on the automated voting procedure is slowing down everything.
And that pisses everyone’s off.
Not to mention, the number of people, chaos, cars, garbage we needed to pass by to get back to my house added up to my anger. It was chaotic, noisy, extremely unorganized, gaaaaaah!
Did we continue voting? Hell no.
I had to pull my dad away from the place because he was already getting really pissed and the last thing I want is for him to diss his anger to someone nearby and possibly provoke a scene. But my dad said he will check again later this afternoon if things improve. If so, he will take his chances to vote.
Well good luck with that Dad. Just control your anger when you are there.
So to everyone adamant to vote right now, prepare yourselves.
