vibes
Just got back. I decided to take a Lyft to and from my polling place, just to get different vibes. No line, super fast in and out. As I was voting I did overhear a (black) woman at the front saying she did not have her ID. The front door poll guy mentioned that she'd have to sign an affidavit first, and then explained the process (basically for those unaware: you swear you are who you say you are, and if you're caught lying it's potentially 5 years in prison and/or a $1000 fine). I could tell the poll worker was hoping that his speech would convince her not to vote, but she decided to sign the affidavit and vote.
Later as I was continuing to fill out my ballot I overheard him talking to a woman poll worker about how she needed to check out Bill Dunham and how he's so hilarious. Yea...breh was definitely MAGA. Not that I mind, having people from both parties there is good. Still...
Rode home in the Lyft with an Arab dude who was listening to Persian r&b music. He told me the entire day has felt slow, and he hopes Americans do the right thing and "vote the bum out."
