Voting at the Baldwin Center in Stratford this afternoon was painless.
I was curious to see if there would be lines like there are some of the other polling places throughout the area. I must admit, I was glad to find only one person ahead of me when I entered the polling area and presented my ID to the poll workers.
I was in and back out after casting my ballot in a total of about five minutes.
They are too young to cast ballots, but John Blashke, 14, a Bunnell High School freshman, as well as sophomores Neileauna Medley, 15, and Alexis Williams, 15, participated in Tuesday’s election campaigning for opposite parties outside Stratford High School for much of the morning. Blashke was campaigning for Republicans Linda McMahon for US Senate, and Joe Crudo, for State Representative. Medley, also a Bunnell student, and Williams, from Stratford High, were campaigning for Democrats including Terry Masters for state representative. They were also urging people to vote for Obama.
”We know this is important,” said Medley.
”This is the best thing we can be doing today,” added Williams, who like most students in the state had no school on Tuesday.
