Carolyne

Civic Doody

On this election day, Carolyne went to the polls twice – she’s learning the Chicago style of politics, we like to say. First I took her to our polling location around 11:30 a.m., where we had about a 3-4 minute wait to vote. I had hoped to get a picture, but Mr. Johnny On the Spot elections volunteer was adamant that no photos were allowed: “Put it away.” OK there fella.

When Leslye got home we all went back to the precinct so she could vote. Both times we had Carolyne in the Baby Bjorn, so she got a good look at those scary voting machines (not actually scary). And both times she got an “I Voted” sticker, so that was something. She was less clear on her preferences – all I got out of her today was that given the choice between green beans and bananas, she’s going for bananas every time. I’m not sure what the political ramifications are.
