Getting out to vote

As I dropped my daughter off at elementary school this morning, one of the school’s staff members was encouraging parents to go vote.
She had already made one unsuccessful attempt to vote at Walton Park. The line was so long she was unable to cast a ballot before she had to be at work. She’s planning to try again at lunch. And if that doesn’t work, will head to the polls a third time once schools ends.
That says a lot about this election ... that someone would wait at the polls three times in order to vote.
