[nomad]

Took me an hour in Montgomery. I heard someting about people with kids being able to jump the line but never actually saw it happen.

In the last election, about 393,000 people voted.

Assuming the same this time, that's 393,000 minutes, or 6550 hours.

That's an extra 273 days we are all collectively standing in line for.

I'm okay with political violence at this point

Wait till the next provincial election. Throat swabs.

The easy solution is to just cancel the next provincial election and declare Danielle Smith the Queen of Alberta.

I know you were all waiting for an update. No boat comments tonight from toddler.
He did get a chocolate ice cream from Made by Markus so he is pretty pleased with this voting thing.

1 hour, start to finish, on the nose. Had a couple friends who bailed on voting due to lines. They were shamed heavily.

Kudos to you who wait more than a minute or two. Zero chance I would ever do that.

Two people in front of me in line so it was pretty breezy. Although the guy in front of me was “just walking by” and thought he might as well vote. No ID or or nothing. Continued to talk the ladies ear off.

Come on

Come on

We had a guy like that too...who has no ID?

The next most likely election for Albertans is provincial. It would make sense for the UCP to turn off as many people as possible from the democratic process, so this is a big win for team stupid.

[InglewoodFan]

75 minutes in Ward 11 at Wise Wood. When I left the line was probably 40 people longer than when I arrived. I wouldn't be surprised if they hit 2 hours.

[Sr. Mints]

Four campaign phone calls today, two robocalls from Jeremy Wong, two from Communities First with a live caller specifically mentioning Wong and Sharp.

Not a peep from a single candidate the entire election, either at my door or by phone. I was starting to develop a complex.

[Fuzz]

Last night I got a completely unhinged robocall for the Catholic board, I don't even know who it was bashing and supporting, because it started halfway through the message, with "WOKE IDEOLOGY!" so I was laughing so hard I missed most of the meat of it. Just ranting about all sorts of stuff. Anyone else get that one?

Okay, 8:00... Who won?

Marlaina and her voter suppression tactics.

Did they count Larry Heather’s vote first?

You understand the probability of your vote making a difference relative to the value of your time. Excellent evaluation of opportunity cost! Fist bump.
