Election Day Afternoon Dispatch

It’s Election Day, and the Texas State Headquarters in Austin is hard at work. This guy is talking on two phones at once!

I walked into a room they call a boiler room and there was this cool-looking projector projecting numbers onto the wall. I asked a girl if I could hang out in the room and listen to what was going on. She looked at me like I had just asked her to take off her clothes and run around the office. Absolutely not was the answer.
Martyn and Andrew, on the other hand, always have time for me.

They were giving me a hard time for describing Martyn’s accent as Danish. Apparently, it’s Dutch. Who am I,Rand McNally?
Check out Andrew playing Scrabulous while he rolls calls.

My next stop was a polling place. The line at this one was out the door.

They had those computer ballots I’d heard so much about, which look like giant PDAs.

I got yelled at for taking this picture, by the way.
Not a lot of love for me today.
I’m off to San Antonio, where hopefully my luck will improve.
