Voting Day 2008

Caitlin and Chris sat bored in the Wolfington Center on election day 2008. Chris was working and would have left except he would have felt guilty about getting paid for not doing his job. Caitlin was waiting to meet with the campus minister about an upcoming retreat and pondered how to include owls into the talk she was writing.

Chris mentioned how he didnt want to have to go home to vote and by random happenstance his uncle then called and mentioned he could cast a provisional ballot without having to drive the 30 minutes home. The duo began researching what a provisional ballot was and found that it would only count if it was necessary to decide the election in Chris' home county.

Was avoiding the trip home worth the potential nonexistance of his vote? Chris' vapid demeanor toward all of politics drove his argument for casting the provisional. Caitlin studied an article online that said provisional voters would be troublesome to the election and warned Chris to do it the legit way.

How will this story end? Only time can tell...

Then Chris lied about voting so the facebook count would reach three millions faster. Caitlin was elated when it finally did.
