Early voting is the only way!

Going to the Registrar of Voters on Grand in Santa Ana
is kind of a thrill. The old days come back to mind and
we think of those late nights counting votes in our various
runs for office. But when you are not running for office
going to the Registrar of Voters is still fun!

Anna works alot....too many days at that. On reserve this
month and finding the time or the day off to vote which
matches with election day....sometimes is difficult. So,
last Thursday....we showed up at the Registrar's Office to
do some Early Voting! They have booths set up at John Wayne
Airport too.....but Anna likes to electronically vote with
me....sort of a tradition!

The people at the Registrar's Office are always very pleasant
even though the "interns" occasionally take a little longer to
log you in than the typical workers. All in all, we love every
one of them! This year, they even ask you if you want a written
ballot...which you can fill out and hand in or electronically
vote! You fill out the info card....and you still don't need to
show your ID...and they plug your info into the computer. Once
the get confirmation....you get an access code...piece of paper.
The Electronic Machines change the Software a little every time,
but evenually....that little wheel works all the numbers and the
selections you want.

So, we voted NO on 91, YES on 92, NO on 93 -
Yes on all of the Indian Gaming 94,95,96 and 97! Finally,
we got to vote NO on B! OK..so, you may not agree with all
our selections - but guess what..we voted early. If you
didn't like our choices you better find your significant
other and get down there and vote against us! Oh, by the
way - we voted for Rudy too!

A couple of cool things to remember if you are going to the
Registrar of Voters to vote early. They close at 5PM.......
the parking is free......and you have to drive slowly over
the many speed bumps in the parking lot!
