 It's not storming the beaches at Normandy, but in-person voting in this time
                     of COVID-19 is nothing to sneeze at

[Not only did I get a “I VOTED” sticker, but I also got to keep the pen. Go
figure.] [1]


So today was the Florida Primary Election Day. Given that my polling station
is just a few blocks away fom Chez Boca, I decided to walk. Less to save fuel
and more to just get out of the house for something other than food. Well,
that, and to see what the protocol might be for the general election in
November in these pandemic times. The walk there wasn't bad,

It was not crowded at all. There were a total of seven people at the polling
station—five people staffing the station, and two voting (and I'm including
myself in that count of two). It was pretty much the same as every other time
I voted, with the exception of mask wearing, and keeping the pen used to mark
the ballot.

I'm registered as an independent voter, so the ballot wasn't that large for
me. Seven races, one supervisor of Elections, three judges, one school board
district and two parks and recreation elections! I didn't even know those
were a thing!
