Election day in Toledo has come and gone. All of the polling I heard about had the winners dead on. Turnout was expected to be light and it was. The results took forever to get, and well that’s pretty much part of the deal.

But the biggest surprise of the night came after work. I made my way to a local grocery store for some milk. I ran into an employee I see quite often. I talked to her about how the election results played out and how our night went on the air.

I asked her if she got out to the polls and she proceeded to tell me that while watching the news late in the evening, she (for the first time that day) realized it was election day. It was too late to vote by the time she realized. Seriously Seriously? (That’s a line I stole from my wife).

HOW COULD PEOPLE NOT KNOW IT WAS ELECTION DAY. I was thinking about it. We have only talked for probably about the last three months about this election. It was on the news just about every night. How could people not know.

I guess I don’t get it because I am in the news business. I am around this stuff all day so I guess I can’t miss it.

So here comes the rhetorical questions of the night: What is worse, not knowing or not voting while knowing?
