In honor of today being election day here in the US I think we need a little levity. Smile

What is the one thing in your years of voting that really made you scratch your head when you went to vote?

In my case, it happned last spring during the local town elections. The town has 5 elected positions for "Library Trustees" - a 3 year office. (Yes, a town of 20,000 people REALLY DOES need to elect 5 people to monitor the expentidture of $60,000/year by ONE small town library! anyway..). 2 of the trustee positions were up for election.

On the ballot - 42 Candidates for the 2 positions (each voter was asked to select 2 names from the list.)

I'm not sure if this is funny or sad, but ...

Or, as somebody or other once said, "Don't vote. It only encourages them."

Hmm this seems to need a revival.

Anyone writing in Gus this year?

The fact that this year, at least, there's nothing funny about the upcoming elections is amply borne out by the fact this potentially great thread has gone unanswered for well nigh a whole twelvemonth.
