Christopher helped me push buttons and Emy was on my back. We saw a few other children, too, and as we came out they gave the kids, "I voted today!" stickers. But I was stunned at how long the line was, I didn't think to bring any entertainment with me while we waited. Luckily Emy started to fall asleep in the Ergo.<BR/><BR/>We're watching the School House Rock! election bit on Monday before we discuss the process more with the kids. :)Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05371671630524713784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-274237968120146104.post-35524634372360918042008-10-25T09:37:00.000-04:002008-10-25T09:37:00.000-04:00Wow, I have never seen someone put so much thought...Wow, I have never seen someone put so much thought into their vote.

Argh...this election is making me feel a little crazy.Raehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05496860234400536830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-274237968120146104.post-84206167352234123832008-10-24T12:36:00.000-04:002008-10-24T12:36:00.000-04:00You can always take a paper with notes in with you...You can always take a paper with notes in with you. Some areas do not allow you to talk on your cell phone while voting though (just a warning). And generally you're supposed to go in the booth alone, but they will usually (I'm thinking "always", but don't want to say that just in case) make an exception for children to teach them about the voting process.<BR/><BR/>That being said, I always vote absentee. :-)jjstringhamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00647702321301935918noreply@blogger.com
