The great American political pastime, voting. Yeah sure it’s all fair and just, unless if you’re in Florida. Sometimes I think if the population from Florida was taken advantage of back in 2000 for being from the South. God forbid call them unintelligent, but you sometimes can’t help but wonder why the re-counts and manual hand counts were so prominent. When I voted today, I came to find out that even in Cambridge-this small-ass hick town-had switched over to all electronic voting machines. Personally I thought it was really convenient to insert a card, the same size as a credit card, and tap through the instructions on the screen. Let’s also not forget about the ladies working the sign-in book, nobody could get past them unless they made sure they saw your I.D., thanks to the impenetrable women’s liberation front hard at work.
I also wonder what happens to the candidates that don’t win. For example, if Bush wouldn’t have won the re-election in 2004, then what would he be doing now? The same would also go for the upcoming presidential hopefuls. Let’s say Barack Obama wins the election, then what would Hillary Clinton do? Or Rudy Giuliani? Or John Edwards? Yeah, I guess a few of them would still be in Congress. I guess we’ll have to find out after next year.
