I voted at John Jay High School this morning. Remember JJHS voters: you have to enter through the 4th Street entrance now.

At 10AM there were about 100 people voting. I stopped at the information table for a reminder of which district I’m in and I was directed to the wrong line. The guy who was taking addresses seemed to have great difficulty hearing numbers and street names.

After waiting for about ten minutes on the wrong line I was redirected (at the information table by another person) to go to the correct line, where there was hardly a wait. The woman at that desk found my name quickly and handed me a paper ballot.

I went to one of the portable desks-on-wheels and filled out my ballot. There were no real surprises on the ballot except I wasn’t up on all the judges and just voted on the Democratic line except for Elon Harpaz on the Working Families line because I know of him and have heard that he’s a brilliant lawyer.

Leaving the school, I noticed that kids from the High School for Research were having a cake and coffee sale. Spotted at the polls: Paul Auster AND Steven Buscemi.

My vote has been counted.
