Voting.

You know I'm not the most educated person when it comes to politics, nor am I one to want to be, I think most of the people who are educated in such things tend to be pretentious assholes who find it their job to push their beliefs on others... much like religion and in fact the two have a lot in common.. but that's not what I'm getting at.

What I started this post about is the wealth of voter fraud articles out there now, all of the primaries that have happened lately have had someone either write an article in a news rag or at the very least a post on some poli-blabber-board about shady dealings at the voting booth.

While I find this interesting, it seems that we have bigger issue here in my neck of the woods. I like to call them Volunteriatrics... These are the retirement community citizens who are volunteered to run the polling booths. Where are the young republicans? Where are the boy scouts? I know there are people out there who have a brain that works better than the old 47 Edsel that looked my name up in the registration book. The last time my wife and I voted they had people sitting on the floor filling out their ballots, in plain site! Isn't that illegal? I know it was because there was a huge turn out and the Volunteriatrics didn't know what to do about it so they did what they could to insure prune juice and a nap time, but I know it wasn't right and a few young energetic people running that show would have at least known that what they were doing was illegal...

Anyways my point is I think the first step in helping get rid of voter fraud is get more young people who can understand and follow the rules of a polling place involved. Even though politics aren't as "cool" as they used to be... oh wait... they were never cool... my bad.
