As I told SmithCale this morning after we started the morning by complaining about how our county tries very hard to hide where to vote, that we just had to vote because I know that SmithCale doesn't plan on cutting complaining out of his life...ever. He promptly agreed, because he's comfortable in his complaining-ness.
We have always voted, well since we graduated college and got big people jobs. But, I don't know how other county's handle their voting situations, but in our county, Gregg, it's a little on the pathetic side.
We had our voter's registration cards, filled with numbers and codes. I knew we were in Precinct 7, but had no clue where that polling place was. Would it be so hard to print it on the card? Give us a website to go to? Put it on the news? Or mail everyone a map of the precincts with a list of where the polls?
There were several people who showed up at our station that weren't in our precinct, and the other reason I knew is because I called the registrar.
And for my job I spend a LOT of time in county courthouses, and if I didn't know exactly what to do...how was anyone else?
The pundits complain about people not voting, well in this county I know why they don't.

Here-here! Our county did a little better and sent us a card with the poll address. Interesting post, Blythe.
