pulling.the.lever
I went to my local public school and voted for the first time in NYC. After the dinky little LA voting machines (push pin stylee) I was way into the heavy duty old school new york lever pull machines. The LES voting place scene was a total scene, Latinos, African Americans, Chinese Americans and lots-o-hipsters.
Of note fashion wise: two terrible ugg booted girls and a Muslim woman with the full head-gear on (the type where all you can see are the eyes). I was (and am) totally obsessed with wondering who the Muslim woman voted for.
