I worked the polls yesterday to support the new Judge of elections in York City pprecinct 13. We had 58 voters for the primary, 12 Republicans and 46 Democrats.

It is hard not to feel discouraged by the low level of participation in our democracy.

I miss what we had (in Canada) when Elections Canada used to pay eumerators to go door to door (and return several times, if nobody was home) to register voters. Our voter turn-out used to be seventy to eighty percent.

That sounds really great. I wish they would auto-register citizens when we get a state ID, to be honest.

Thanks for serving, all the same. I was an election judge a few times a few years ago.

Oh good show. And thank you for the encouragement. I wish we had instant runoff ballots and no need for primaries at all, but this is better than nothing.
