No Lever Pulled, but Civic Duty Done
I strolled into the Supreme Court building in Brooklyn this morning to cast my vote. After walking past the lax security and to the voting area, I told the poll workers that I recently moved. They gave me a paper ballot to fill out, so I filled it out, filled in some bubbles, and I was done.
The process sounds smooth, but it wasn't quite that easy. The workers seemed unprepared for someone that was filling out a paper ballot - they didn't even have the box or the shield set up. It ended up taking me about 15 minutes to get everything done, which isn't bad at all. And you figure if you're just using the voting machines, then you'll be out of there even quicker.
So, I urge you, concerned citizens to get out and vote. It takes 15 minutes of your time, what do you have to lose?

bah, 15 minutes. what are you going to do sleep?
time is money, i guess. cost of 15 minutes of my time? $0.
a wise man also once said "time is honeys." cost of 15 minutes of my time? zero honeys.

yes, corie is absolutely right, there are some very important issues and some tight races (depending on where you are in new york).
the biggest issue could change the face of elections in this city. i happened to vote no on it, but that's just me.
