Went to vote in person.
Did not wear a corona mask.
Poll worker #2 said to poll worker #1,
"we got someone in line not wearing a mask"
The polling station was packed, and quiet as the night.
I smiled and with a clear, loud yet polite reply, said,
"It's not against the law to not wear a mask".
The line started moving much quicker at that point.
When I reached polling worker #1, she pulled
down her mask and said, "You're so lucky.
"They told me I had to wear this mask."
I smiled again and said, "You don't have to
wear a mask, it's not a law, you can say no."
Polling worker #2 chimed, "It's just a courtesy."
I smiled and replied, "That's your opinion though,
"and not everyone shares your opinion about that."
She verified my name and address and polling
worker #3 gave me a form and a sanitized pen.
I quickly marked my ballot, went to return pen,
but polling worker #3 wasn't there. I say to
the person behind me, "Here's the pen. I
"think she has to sanitize it though."
I walk to the ballot machine and feed it my form.
And there is polling worker #3 beside it, telling a man in line that he has to put on his mask. I
smiled and said, "He doesn't have to wear it,
it's not the law. This is a free country."
That statement triggered polling worker #3.
She said, "He has one but it's got vulgarity on it."
The man holds up his mask, it says 'I hate
wearing this fucking mask.' I smiled and
said, "You can't force people to wear it,
"we're here to vote, not get health advice.
"you're supposed to be working the poll
"and there's a lady over there using an
"uninitialized pen, fyi." She looks over.
The man and his lady-friend look at me
and both say, "Thank you" to me.
It was so quiet in the polling station,
everyone could hear everything.
The man and his lady-friend moved forward in line.
Polling worker #3 started to Biden babble to me.
I smiled and said, "Have a nice day, God bless!"
As I walked toward the door, the couple said
another loud, 'thank you' to me. I saluted
them and walked out into the shining sun,
having cast my ballot for TRUMP
without wearing a mask.
God is Good.
Yes they are some stupid bullshit. Slavery.
Incidentally, polling worker #1, who pulled down
her mask to tell me I was lucky I didn't have to wear it… gave me the opportunity to loudly
proclaim, "They don't protect from the virus.
"It literally says that on the box they come in."
Surprisingly, she said, "I know, I know! I'm a scientist and I know!"
And everyone in the place heard her. Kek.
