Election workers help

I had a pleasant experience voting and want to thank the election officials who assisted me. I have several family members who cannot wait in a traditional line. I went to the early voting site at Bur-Mil Park a day early. The election staff who were setting up answered all my questions about absentee ballots and curbside voting.

When I brought my mother-in-law, who has a broken leg, to Bur-Mil, there were lines. We were able to vote curbside and were very pleasantly assisted by Tony McGrady and Conrad Cates, who knew what to do and did it with a great attitude. Other curbside voters arrived while we waited, and we all felt we were a part of the voting experience. Mr. Cates put the voting tablet in our car so that my mother-in-law could vote without getting out. This was very helpful.

Thank you, Mr. McGrady and Mr. Cates, for helping Americans cast their ballots!
