May 2015

People who are loudmouthed like me stopped it one Dems began to swell in numbers. One guy in the GE in 1992 stopped me on the way in and offered me the Rethug ballot. My response to him: I think we've had quite enough during the past 12 years. People, even the Dem candidates who were at the poll were dumbfounded, because no one ever gave it back to these people - they were too afraid to open their mouths.

Now things are calmer because we're generally Dem in this precinct.
