Hi All,

So.. whatcha y'all thinking about the advance call for another federal election?

I voted in the advance polls yesterday.  I noticed a couple of things quite different. 

[1] the ballot actually mentioned the party for each candidate.  I always wondered why they never had that in the past. As a result, I think I ended up voting for the wrong candidate the very first time I was old enough to vote.

[2] covid theatre was in full force.  Free masks were available. Hand sanitation was required.  They even required that I "sign" (including my telephone number)
a registry. I actually had to pause as I realized that I forgot my own phone number for a moment.  :D  The problem with the registry is that it failed to provide a record WHEN my visit occurred. I mean.. there was no date or TIME column. But the venue was empty. Gee.. I hope that I don't get a call to tell me that my health may have been compromised. LOL   The "workers" were all at their stations, and I was the only active voter in the facility during my 3 minute visit.

Ciao!
