I’m holding the clipboard, clearly marked REGISTER TO VOTE.
The guy comes over and says, “For what party?”
I say, “For any party.”
“Really?”
“Yes. By law I am required to account for every form and submit your application exactly the same way, whether you want to be Republican, Democrat, Green, Libertarian, or what have you. Any party that’s on the ballot, I can register you for it.”
“But who are you working for?”
“I have a personal party affiliation, but right now I am registering anybody who wants to register.”
“What organization?”
“Reiterating that what I’m doing today favors no party, I am working for the Florida Democratic Party.”
“A-HA! I KNEW IT! YOU’RE WORKING FOR THAT THIEVING C***!”
“Actually, no, she’s not even officially nominated yet. If you want to register as a Republican, I can help you.”
“I’M ALREADY REGISTERED AND VOTING FOR TRUMP! I CAN’T BELIEVE ANYBODY’S OUT HERE COLLECTING SIGNATURES FOR THAT TRAITOROUS BITCH! YOU MUST BE CRAZY! F— YOU AND YOU SECRET AGENDA!”
(As he storms away) “Have a nice day.”
(Believe it or not, he comes storming back) “WHAT’S THAT? HAVE A NICE DAY? WHO THE F— ARE YOU TO TELL ME TO HAVE A NICE DAY! WHAT IF I TOLD YOU IT’S NOT YOUR F—ING BUSINESS WHAT KIND OF DAY I HAVE?”
“Then, sir, I would tell you to feel free to have the kind of day you seem to prefer.”
He storms again, I wipe the spittle off my cheeks, and continue to offer registration to anyone who passes.
