03 November 2004 

Physicist Stephen Hawking has taken a position against the conflict in Iraq calling it a “war crime.” Despite voting for Mr. Bush, I’d have to agree.

Choosing Mr. Bush came down to one issue: Abortion. The odds of needing to replace at least one and possibly three or more Supreme Court Justices in the next four years are rather great. I’d rather have a Conservative do so than a Liberal because of this issue.

When I hit the polls yesterday at 2:05 PM I was voter number 422. Four years ago I was voter number 172 at around 7:00 PM. What a difference. The paper reported that the state “could see its highest percentage of eligible voters turn out in a presidential election since the voting age was lowered from 21 to 18 in 1971” (03 NOV 2004 The Patriot-News photo caption. A3).

It made me a little angry that a partisan poll watcher had to scurry up and make sure I was me and that I was eligible. The ladies that had been doing so officially for 20 years nigh have always done a fine job. This made me think that just the day before I was telling people how I couldn’t understand folks who said they were intimidated into not voting. I wasn’t intimidated, exactly, but I did feel a bit “dirty” in the process.
