Inconvenience

My wife and I voted in the primary today. The location was inconvenient, in the club house of a golf course in a gated community, where the least expensive houses looked like $500,000 homes.

We had to be allowed in by a gate guard, which required photo ID. The signs pointing to the actual location were small and of limited number.

I said to the voting officials, "I know you had nothing to do with this location, but it is an encumbrance." The official agreed. He said, "You should contact the county party people and tell them." I said I would.

Were I a minority voter, I would have good cause for complaint, of being approved by a uniformed guard, driving past such expensive houses and then voting in a golf course club house.
