• 0:00
  Speaker 1: It's election day, polling day, because I can't call it
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: an election what we have going on right now as
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: far as candidates going, it's a confirmation day because there's
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: only one party represented on the ballot in Columbus, Ohio.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: And that's humiliating, it really is. With a metro over
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: a million, we can't manage to get a few candidates.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: Sad those people who are up there, it doesn't matter
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: to me which of them win. Most of them are uncontested,
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: So it doesn't matter. The bond issues I would vote
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: no on, but I'm going to be outroll overrulled by
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: a bunch of people that go, oh, they won't raise
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: ourt that that's we will vote yeah, And so it
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: doesn't matter the renewal on Issue one, i'd vote no.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: Why because I'm I'm sick of getting ignored by the
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: city hall. I'm sick of the people of Columbus being
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: ignored by the people running Columbus, and I think that
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: they need to be far more accountable and I don't
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: want to hand over any more money until they are.
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: That's simple.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: But I'll get out number by it, and so what's
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: the point in voting today? That's what I keep asking myself,
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: and I have not. I haven't been able to motivate myself.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: I can do it after work, I can still make it.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: I'm just haven't figured out why I would A two
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: one nine eighty six A two one WUTV. And let's
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: roll through some calls here, Steve, you're on six ten.

  Speaker 3: corby talked About connors and now, You Chuck, douglas you
• 2:07

  Speaker 3: ruining the. CITY i go there BECAUSE i feel like
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: IF i go and then you don't have to vote
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: for the people that are ruining the. City you could

  Speaker 3: just go there and know, vote AND i think because
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: of technology and statistics and the way everybody records, everything
• 2:52

  Speaker 1: and the polling place was a church just to the
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: west Of Harrisburg pike on Al.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: CAYRE i forget the name of the, church oh my.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: Gosh but, anyway the, line the line to vote was,
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: ridiculous out into the parking lot and curving around the
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: church and out onto the church, lawn and people were
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: griping and moaning and groaning and.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: COMPLAINING i loved.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: It first of, all As barbara said, earlier you know
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: your neighbors are, there which is. Cool i'm talking to
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: people from the neighborhood you never even. Met but it
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: was so wonderful to stand in that, crowd all of
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: these people coming out to cast their, vote and and it.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: Was a very pleasurable.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: Experience and quite, frankly it made me as corny as
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: it may, sound proud to be An. AMERICAN i truly,
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: was because that's that's what we're all about. NOW i
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: did get a little miffed because there was a guy
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: who was there and he was eighteen years of, age
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: and he was registered to, vote and he would the
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: term day is mentally, challenged is how he would say.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: It AND i knew his vote was going to offset.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: Mind he was very loud and adamant about how he
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: would be. Voting and since that, Day i've had a
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: bit of a problem with. That but there's no way
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: to fix. It you, know we can't go back to
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: polling test or competency test or things like, that because
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: somebody would make you an ist of some sort doing.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: That there's no, uh there's no rule about. Competency did
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: you know? That there's no rule about competency when it
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: comes to. Voting as long as you are eighteen years
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: of age and A United states, citizen you can have
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: AN iq of negative three and you can be a
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: registered legal.
