Hey, you guys! I am 65, and I think a lot of people may have trouble finding this information! And not only old people, either! I don't know anything about twitter or texting. And apparently I have less computer savvy than I thought! I was just trying to find out, but I coudn't. Luckily, I voted early. But I am worried about my neighbors. Some of them don't have computers. Some of them don't speak English very well. And you know those information lines at the bottom of the TV screen? They don't show up on my satellite TV screen. Poor people have to economize where they can, and cable is more expensive. The local TV stations used to have these big-print lists up, holding steady beside the talking heads. Now everything is flashing. I went to Gottavote.org, but it said I would have to sign in, and when I tried it kicked me out electronically. I am thinking that somebody may ask me today, before I go off to my phone bank.
