27. I never asked if I could put it in print side down

I assumed the scanner was at the top and somehow had to see it. This time will be different. First, I will ask if I can put it print-side down. I'd bet money she'll say no. I had been thinking that I would say that my vote was private, would she mind looking out the window? I also considered grabbing one of the many brochures I am sure they have in the building (community center), taking it in with me, and holding it over the top of my ballot when I line it up to get sucked up. I don't care if she knows my down-ballot votes.

She was kind of old in 2016 and has gotten older. Maybe I will get there and it will be a guy who stares out the window when people put their ballots in. Hope springs eternal.
