how was voting?

[cos]

Since it's election day, and there are several contested races around here and a couple of them write-in / sticker campaigns, I'm curious to hear people's voting anecdotes/stories. How were things at the polls?

I'm volunteering for Carl Sciortino all day today; I occasionally get a quiet moment to check LJ :)

I was volunteering for Carl Sciortino at the Winter Hill firehouse, holding a sign and handing out stickers. I asked one gentleman, "Sir, are you voting today?" and he said "Not for him!"

He then asked me, "Where are you from, Connecticut?" I replied, "I live right over there, actually," gesturing down Grant Street.

"Yeah, right!" he said. "I could show you my license!" I retorted. He sort of grumbled then went and grabbed a Bob Trane sign and stood on the other side of Broadway.

It really pissed me off.

Well I have a MA license but truth be told, I am from Connecticut. Some say you're not from Somerville unless you were born here, so licenses don't count.

You should have countered; the Traniac has supporters all over the city - maybe the guy didn't live in the district!
