I resent that. I would like that all citizens voted.Mark's Mews (Marley, Lori, Loki, and Binq)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11135668126649348317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7525976427330328394.post-50937317933274509962014-11-04T04:09:42.357-05:002014-11-04T04:09:42.357-05:00I've been in the US on a Presidential election...I've been in the US on a Presidential election day. My husband and I couldn't believe it - it was difficult to find a polling booth and it was happening on a Tuesday when many people would find it difficult to queue up because they'd be at work. In Australia, elections are always held on a Saturday and there are polling booths in practically every local school and community hall. At the one closest to me, the polling staff typically outnumber the voters at any given time during the day so you just walk straight in, vote and walk out again - takes less than 5 minutes.<br /><br />Megan<br />Sydney, AustraliaMeganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03143400920174171516noreply@blogger.com
