It's weird seeing queues for voting.
When I vote, I walk to my local voting place, chat with people I know, vote, chat a bit more, then walk home. Perhaps half an hour, if I'm feeling chatty.
I just mail my vote, mail comes in fill in form and mail goes out.
It takes 5mins out of my day tops
I also vote by mail and it usually takes me longer in non-presidential years because there's more offices to vote for and zero local campaigning. So I have to creep on people on social media to know if I'm comfortable with them having the powers of prothonotary.
That's so much "fun" with all those tiny local offices. "Okay who is this person?"
Zero public web presence about them at all.
It'd be nice if there was something like Ballotpedia but public owned. "You want to run for an office? You need to fill out this profile."
I imagine lots of people are just like "Eh, this name sounds pretty." Lol
For one the only thing I could find was a locked-down Facebook profile.
They were running unopposed.
