Closing times? Ha! You left out the painful part – the polls OPEN AT 0700! That means I have to be at the polls by 0600 for all the preparations for what will likely be a long painful day, lol. There will be tons of people who have never voted, or haven’t voted in years or are peeved when they find out that answering the census didn’t automatically register them or find out that being registered 10 years ago at previous residence didn’t transfer to where they live now…….*deep breath*…..and tons of absentee ballots.
I need to get through the whole day, 0600 to whenever without killing or maiming someone. Wish me luck!
