Public Duty
May. 2nd, 2006 10:20 amI voted in the elections today (school board: two unopposed candidates, library board: pick 3 of 5, one county-wide proposal to fund new emergency radio equipment). I was the 6th voter in my precinct, and I voted at about 9:15 am. I was the only voter in the polling place while I was voting. Two precincts are co-located for voting there. As I was getting in my car, one other voter was walking in to the polling place.
Edit:
By the way, if you are a Michigan voter, you should know about www.publius.org. Go check it out. I'm the only person with my name in the state of Michigan (how cool is that?), so you can enter it and see my polling place and ballot (usually). The online ballot copy ususally includes links to party and candidate web sites and other cool stuff, when there are any candidates on it anyway. You can't see the ballot for this election. I guess my county and township didn't bother to tell the Secretary of State what the election was about today.
I see I'm not the only one who has a unique name.
tlatoani, I checked you out and I see you have some library millages. I assume Prop A is on your real ballot too. ;-)
