Hi.

Name.

Susie Martin.

One second…OK—I found you. Says here this is your first election?

Yes—I just turned 18.

Hey—we got a first timer! Lemme have the kit. Ok—let’s start with your ID.

Here you go.

I’m sorry. A college ID won’t do. Next!

Wait—wait—I have my driver’s license. Here you go.

All right…I guess that’s you. Bank card?

What?

Do you have a bank card?

Yes—here.

Good, good. OK—time for the fingerprints.

What? Are you kidding?

Do you want to vote or not?

Yes, but—

But? But? Do you even take this seriously? I suppose you’re gonna tell me the DNA test and the strip search are over the line, too, huh? Kids today…
