Vote Here

I went to vote (No) this morning and was surprised to see a lady standing outside my polling place holding a Vote Yes yard sign and waving it at the traffic pulling into the parking lot. I'm pretty sure that's illegal but I don't think the "vote yes" camp worries too much about matters morally gray.

I was also surprised to see how busy it was. I've never seen so many people out to vote at that particular polling place and it was still busy later in the morning when Shannon went to vote (sans sign-waving-lady). There were lines of little old ladies with overly-muscular right arms voting yes for slot machines and casinos. I think I saw Tony Soprano there as well.

Since I expect this measure to pass with flying colors, let me sound the warning again. You and your "system" are not so clever that you'll actually beat the casino in the long run. Maybe once, maybe for awhile, but not long term.
