Doing my civic duty.

yes, I know. People think there is only one election this year. But actually, there are 4 here in this Kansas county. The next one is April 1st. Yes, that's right. April Fool's day. But seriously. There is an election and people should get out and vote. Spent my morning at "refresher" election worker training. The things people get hung up on...cell phones in particular.

Question after question about cell phones and voting...Did you know that while there is no law against talking on your cell phone while voting, it is considered electioneering if you are talking on your phone while voting and in talking you discuss what you are doing. Who would've thought? Now, I think you should probably pay attention while you're perusing those screens and making your selections (so you don't make the wrong choice as other's clearly have in the past), others feel that they can talk and vote at the same time. Just watch out for those election workers!

I appreciated the answer to the question of what if someone gets mad when you ask them to get off their cell phone? Call 911...duh. What a morning.
