My Sister Had An older Guy [View all]

actually come and look over her shoulder at her ballot which he's not supposed to do. He then had the nerve to say to her, you know I just canceled out your vote with mine. She replied, "well it's a good thing I voted today then because it means I canceled yours too." Magats aren't very logical. My sister isn't afraid like me to give it right back.

The guy harrumped and went to stand in line to put his ballot in the machine. A poll worker came over and asked my sister if he had looked at her ballot and my sister said yes and told her what the guy said. She also told the lady not to confront him on it, because she said she didn't want to make the poll workers time more stressful and then told her what she had said back, and the lady laughed.

Hey my sister actually would talk back to the nuns if she felt she was getting treated unfairly. She wasn't letting him get the last laugh!
