Politics in East Bumblefuck

I voted tonight in the Pennsylvania primaries. When I vote, I report to the borough fire station. There is a little league field right next to the place where I vote. And of course, the league decided to have a game tonight, making parking scarce.

So I parked illegally and went inside. The first thing I noticed was a big sign by the entrances that said "Voting time limited to three minutes" or something along those lines. Can they do that? Is that constitutional? Granted, it's just the primaries, where in PA, you only vote within your party and most candidates run unopposed. But there are some cases where you have to pick seven candidates out of about a dozen and three have to be men and three have to be women and one could be either. This requires some thought and some reading of names and where the candidates are from. I don't like to feel the pressure. And what if I had a learning disability or some other reason that would make it difficult for me to complete the ballot in time. Even though it didn't seem like they were really enforcing this three minute rule, it just didn't sit well with me.

Then, when I handed them my ID to find my name in the book, the old ladies working the polls went apeshit because I neglected to hand them my change of address. I thought they only needed to check my name and photo. So then, I handed them the change of address slip that I carry with me and this only confused them more. "So it's wrong in the book but right on your license?" No...that's what the change of address card is for.

They were also fairly indignant when they announced to the other polling people that I'm a Democrat.

I'm really starting to wonder if there is any place in this world where I fit in...
