Issues: Economy Health Care

I took issue with several aspects of my voting experience today:

1. Why does it require more identification to get an e-mail account at BU than it does to vote? I really wanted to show my ID...but apparently I look trustworthy enough.

2. Secret ballot? Apparently they do things differently here. No booth! No curtain! No machine with levers! At least going with Mommy to vote in NJ was fun...

3. Expanding on number 2, sharing a partitioned table reminiscent of my attempts to erect blinders to stop people from cheating off my paper during state testing in elementary school just doesn't cut it for me. Some guy sneezed, shook the entire operation, and I almost colored out of the lines...

4. I didn't get a sticker.

But I voted, and so should you.
