I actually voted in the election yesterday. Mainly it was the primary for Los Angeles Mayor.
During my visit to the polls there were only three other people in the place looking to cast a ballot.
Afterwards I went to Trader Joes and two cashiers called across the aisle pointing my way, "Hey, there's one!" They were noting my "I Voted" sticker on my shirt. One of them had also voted and she thought that maybe they should have an incentive to get people out to vote, like maybe free water. I said, "like maybe better candidates." She agreed and said that yeah, that would be better than free water.
Later I had a consultation with a new client and he also spotted the sticker. He said, "I think we were the only two people that actually voted today." In reality, it WAS a really low turnout and I was quite surprised that during my travels I ran into two people that had also voted. Nonetheless, it looks like our current bore, I mean mayor is going to have a real tough time staying in office
