Hi, I'm Katie.

And I'm Erin.

And you're listening to Rope Drop and Park Hop.

Happy Election Day.

That's the wrong word, but okay.

We're recording on Tuesday by Friday when we know when we hear this or when you hear this maybe

we'll know more maybe maybe I don't know I don't I don't really have hope then it will be over

that quickly I was just listening to a podcast this morning talking about like what happens now

which we've worked elections we've talked about about this before. And elections, I mean,

for the most part, are digital. Like, as your ballot is entered, or at least in Idaho, which I feel

like Idaho is pretty backwards, like, um, behind the times. Correct. Yeah. Yeah. Like, I feel like

we're always the last to adopt anything. And so if we're doing this, I feel like the majority of places are doing it too. But scanners, you know, your vote is scanned as it's put in and at the end of the night, there's a printout that comes out that shows you the tally for everything. So I feel like it shouldn't be, I know there's some hand counting that has to happen but right well and us working the election that

part of the night is actually super stressful oh totally when we have to make sure the counts all

match up with how many ballots we were given to begin with and we were we were very very careful to make

sure that it all lines up and is counted correctly so there's locks that have to be locked and there's you

have to have witnesses sign things and you have to have voter witnesses sign things. And if you ever question the sanctity of an election, go volunteer to be an election poll worker. See how it works. Yeah, because it's really honestly, there's so many checks and balances that happen in an election. And I've done it. I mean, how long have you been doing it? About three years for me. Is that it? Yeah. I feel like, oh, well, no, because we did the last presidential election. We did. Was that our first together? Maybe. Or maybe we worked the year before that. Maybe. I've been doing it for probably, I'm trying to think. Lyndon may not have been born when I started.

So, I mean, I've been doing it more than a decade.

Yeah.

This is the first one I've sat out in a while.

Yes, we were just talking about what else we can do to fill our civic duty this year.

Yeah.

Not work at a folding place.
