The View From Your Election: Columbus, Ohio
A reader writes:
I waited in line for three hours to vote the other day. What amazed me
was all the different people out there voting. There was this
ridiculous line and a single mother was in front of me, she was trying
to feed her child in her arms and scooted the baby carrier on the
ground with her foot. I saw men and women in uniform, I saw elderly in
wheelchairs, elderly standing in the line wheeling oxygen tanks along
with them.
When I got up to the poll worker who printed off my ballot for me,
I asked her if it was like this every day. She said for the past week
or so it had been, averaging thirty thousand people a day coming in to
vote early. Then I read in the paper this morning about how Ohio is
expecting an 80% voter turnout. It is
absolutely amazing.
