Voting Day

Well.  They wouldn’t let me in … so I was only able to get a few outside photos.  It wasn’t TOO crowded outside, but from what little I could see behind the doors of the school – it was pretty crowded inside.

Even this morning, people were discussing the proper way to put their marks on the ballots.  I have a bad feeling about how the results will be ultimately tallied.  I wonder how many ballot slips will have to be thrown away due to being miss-marked in one way or another.

Notice the lack of political party colors in their clothing choices.

The scene at the end of the block at the high school - lots of activity

Coming in by truck, by foot, by moto-taxi ...

Taking advantage of the crowds to earn those few cents

The Scouts help out

Not sure what their job was - maybe crowd control and question answering?

Every bag got checked and every man got patted down

Of course you can take our picture!
