Primary voting today

[missizzy]

Back in the 19th century, people were so scared of the Masons' influence on politics, there was a third party formed mainly in opposition to them. Those people would presumably be horrified to know about Alexandria's Masonic Temple currently being used as a polling place! But really, nowadays there are much greater and more real threats to our democracy, and meanwhile, we have to vote so long as there's even a possibility it'll make any difference to anything. I even took leave for all of today, just in case there was any trouble, but it all went quickly. Nothing more underhanded than the placing of the voting area so that you came out and the first thing you saw was the temple gift shop.
I just wish I could believe it'll actually fix the big things. The candidates currently on the ballot weren't terribly encouraging in that aspect either. But hey, maybe a mayoral change actually will help the city. You never know.
