Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's election day, polling day, because I can't call it
an election what we have going on right now as
far as candidates going, it's a confirmation day because there's
only one party represented on the ballot in Columbus, Ohio.
(00:20):
And that's humiliating, it really is. With a metro over
a million, we can't manage to get a few candidates.
Sad those people who are up there, it doesn't matter
to me which of them win. Most of them are uncontested,
(00:41):
So it doesn't matter. The bond issues I would vote
no on, but I'm going to be outroll overrulled by
a bunch of people that go, oh, they won't raise
ourt that that's we will vote yeah, And so it
doesn't matter the renewal on Issue one, i'd vote no.
Why because I'm I'm sick of getting ignored by the
(01:02):
city hall. I'm sick of the people of Columbus being
ignored by the people running Columbus, and I think that
they need to be far more accountable and I don't
want to hand over any more money until they are.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
That's simple.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
But I'll get out number by it, and so what's
the point in voting today? That's what I keep asking myself,
and I have not. I haven't been able to motivate myself.
I can do it after work, I can still make it.
I'm just haven't figured out why I would A two
one nine eighty six A two one WUTV. And let's
(01:34):
roll through some calls here, Steve, you're on six ten.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
WUTV in Yeah, hey, Chuck, can you hear me?

of history with six'. TEN i go all the way

Speaker 2 (02:10):
Boots do they admit?
Speaker 3 (02:13):
That and, yeah, okay, yeah, Anyway. YEAH i voted every,
time like for probably the last thirty years or. So
AND i highly recommend, voting even if you don't, recommend
even if we don't vote for the people that are
ruining the. CITY i go there BECAUSE i feel like
(02:37):
IF i go and then you don't have to vote
for the people that are ruining the. City you could
just go there and know, vote AND i think because
of technology and statistics and the way everybody records, everything
eventually that might show something that there's a.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Resistance and that's ALL i would have to, offer, Honestly,
steve is to go in and vote no on the,
issues BECAUSE i wouldn't even bother casting a voter for
any of the.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
Offices, Right and that's WHAT i did.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Today did you feel kind of sick to your stomach
having to do?
Speaker 3 (03:10):
That absolutely.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Good i'm Glad i'm not an album AND i.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Was the only one in the whole.
Speaker 4 (03:16):
Place.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
Wow, Yeah, well, HONESTLY i don't know what to. Expect
sometimes my my polling place is. Crowded sometimes it's it's,
desolate and TONIGHT i have a feeling it'll be pretty.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Desolate.
Speaker 3 (03:28):

thank you guys for all the work that you do
and for being the voice of us people who really.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Care bless your heart for, Listening. Steve we appreciate. YOU
a two one nine eight six the Number i'll tell
you the was it the Second clinton? ELECTION i was
living over off Of Al Cairo road at the, time
and the polling place was a church just to the
west Of Harrisburg pike on Al.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
CAYRE i forget the name of the, church oh my.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
Gosh but, anyway the, line the line to vote was,
ridiculous out into the parking lot and curving around the
church and out onto the church, lawn and people were
griping and moaning and groaning and.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
COMPLAINING i loved.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
It first of, all As barbara said, earlier you know
your neighbors are, there which is. Cool i'm talking to
people from the neighborhood you never even. Met but it
was so wonderful to stand in that, crowd all of
these people coming out to cast their, vote and and it.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
Was a very pleasurable.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
Experience and quite, frankly it made me as corny as
it may, sound proud to be An. AMERICAN i truly,
was because that's that's what we're all about. NOW i
did get a little miffed because there was a guy
who was there and he was eighteen years of, age
and he was registered to, vote and he would the
(05:06):
term day is mentally, challenged is how he would say.
It AND i knew his vote was going to offset.
Mind he was very loud and adamant about how he
would be. Voting and since that, Day i've had a
bit of a problem with. That but there's no way
to fix. It you, know we can't go back to
(05:28):
polling test or competency test or things like, that because
somebody would make you an ist of some sort doing.
That there's no, uh there's no rule about. Competency did
you know? That there's no rule about competency when it
comes to. Voting as long as you are eighteen years
of age and A United states, citizen you can have
(05:50):
AN iq of negative three and you can be a
registered legal.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Voter AND i don't know how you get around. THAT
i really. DON'T i. DON'T i don't think you.

YOU i guess they're YOUR i don't.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Know what the disabled.
Speaker 5 (06:12):
Person, Right do you have somebody with you that goes
in the booth and helps you vote if you are
like a guardian of that, person and that's a you
know WHAT i, mean because that's just an extra vote
for something that.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Yeah and they're really not voting their their thoughts or
will or anything, else that's whoever's there to help.

Speaker 4 (06:35):
You oh a great. Chuck you really need to go and,
vote because think of it this. Way you you can't
turn the tide of the. Election you're no vote on
those issues the tide. Right but if you were in
battle and you were the last guy, standing would you
just toss down your rifle and walk away or would
(06:56):

it even If i'm the only, ONE i got to
get at least one damn no vote on every kind
