When I was working I got in the habit of voting on the way to work. It
was only a block out of my way. They opened at like 6.30 and I was there around 7. When my hours changed to starting at 7 I was there at 6.30
since I could vote and still be at work on time.
Once upon a time, before the Florida fiasco in 2000, we used punch
cards. I really liked those since I would take a list of the numbers of
the person I was voting for, and "punch 'em out" in a few seconds.
One time in the '80s the owner of a restaurant we dealt with was
running for some local office. He asked if I had voted yet. I asked
what number was he and he said whatever number. I pulled out the slip of
paper and said "Oh yes, here you are" and showed him.
He asked what that was about and I said "the old man (the retired
founder and father of my boss) believed in a secret ballot and came
around each election day with the numbers we were to vote for. That if
we didn't know whom we were voting for it was a secret". He believed
me! LOL
