I recently worked as a registration clerk at the civic election poll on Nov. 15.
I, like the rest of those who worked there, put in a long day: 7 a.m. until after the polls closed at 8 p.m. We all do our best to get the voters through the voting process as quickly as possible.
This election the polls were extremely busy and at times the lineup to vote was long. I was approached by a voter and after registering him he asked if he had to stand in line to vote. When I informed him that he did, he threw the ballot back at me and walked out.
I would consider this rude for any voter, but this man is actually a lawyer in our city. I would have expected a person of professional status to have more respect for the voting process.
