Electoral Dysfunction Erupts: Dateline, New York City, September 13, 2012

It’s election day in my fair city. Primary election day. 

Being the dutiful citizen that I am, I set off to vote mid-day. It’s a beautiful day here. The sun is shining. A light breeze is blowing. It’s in the high 70s. 

Now, I don’t want to brag, but I’m a pretty organized person about my voting. So I took out the nice form the board of elections sent me a month ago to confirm my polling place location. And it was the same one it’s been for the last nine years.

…

To recap:

Three polling places and more than an hour walking to get to the right one.

One out of two races on the ballot incorrectly printed.

#1: How many of you New Yorkers even knew that yesterday was a primary election? And how many of you voted in it?

#2: Why is it so hard to get this voting thing right??
