In another entry in the “it’s about me” story of Julia Carson, the Indianapolis Star reports
In an ominous reminder that today was the fight of her political life, a pin broke on the voting machine just as U.S. Rep. Julia Carson was casting her vote this morning.
The pin would let Carson vote for any candidate but herself.
What a hoot. The machine was smarter than the candidate.
Carson was the second person to use the machine, and poll watchers said it was fixed in about 10 minutes. Only four persons had to use a paper ballot.
Election officials said they didn’t believe the failure affected any other ballots.
Well duh, folks, if she was only the second person to use the machine.
Still, Carson was concerned. “Wouldn’t it have been a travesty if I had not been able to vote for myself,” she said. “Some elections are won by one vote.”
No, the travesty would be if you won by one vote. And if you lose, I guarantee it won’t be by one vote. My liberal wife even voted against you.
