The thing is, the people who workt he polls, at least in MA, aren't professionals. You can answer a craigslist ad and make $100 bucks or something. You have to go to a training for a few hours, and then be there on election day. WTF

Well... think about it. Just how much call is there for professional poll workers?

No tattoos in general, or just political tattoos? If it's tattoos in general, that's illegal & I'd report it.

Oh of course there shouldn't be full time workers, but the qualifications they require are minimal.

I didn't officially vote, but I bought my coffee in an Obama cup at 7-11 this morning, and apparently they're counting the number of McCain v Obama cups they sell based on the bar codes.

Tattoos?
![]() I know any form of political clothing/buttons/stickers is banned at the polls in many states, including Virginia (officials want to avoid any appearance of campaigning in the polls), but tattoos? That's ridiculous. ![]()

Well, voted again! this time with the official absentee ballot. Cost me $5 to express back to the US, too.

Wish we had early voting here in Pennsylvania. I still remember the long lines in 2000 & in 2004.

Wow, it's incredible hearing what you guys go through to vote. Here, I've never heard of registration hassles or people being turned away (although in our election earlier this month they changed the rules about what kinds of ID were acceptable. It was well publicized, though, so people had plenty of opportunity to make sure they brought the correct ID), and any time I've gone to vote, no matter which level of government was holding elections, I've never spent more than 5 or 10 minutes at a polling station. I can't even imagine standing in line for hours. Do they make exceptions for the elderly or the infirm? What do they do?

For what it's worth, it's not like that everywhere. The only time I've ever stood in line at all was during the recall of our governor and if I remember correctly it's because that was a special election.
