It was a beautiful autumn day – 56 deg. F and the sun was out in full glory. In the afternoon as I set out for exercise in Jefferson Park (our house faces the park on Cooley Avenue) – one-hour of walking and another hour of solo tennis – I decided to check how long the lines were outside our polling place located in ward 16 -- West 130th Street, South of Lorain Avenue.

 

To my pleasant surprise – there were no long lines – just a few people waiting outside – all with their masks. I learned that there was a constant stream of voters – but not one to cause over-crowding outside.

 

In the world’s greatest democracy – not every eligible voter votes. This year nearly 35% of the voters will not be voting.

 

Enjoy the excitement of the post-voting day election season!
