Are we taking something for granted?
Yesterday Marash Girl "manned" the polls in a small precinct of Newton from 6 in the morning until 8 at night. Granted, it was a primary election. Nonetheless, it was so quiet for so long, she's saddened to say, that her partner inspector commented, "I forget why I'm here. . .!"
I'm afraid that's what happens when Civic engagement continues to decline. Then again, I can't blame the electorate for not wanting to cast their vote for any one of those candidates for U.S. President, none of whom is Presidential!
