The Soupline stretched so far up the street it passed the polling station (Incidentally a detox centre). So to get into the polling station you had to literally walk through the soupline. Man, how fucked up is that?

1. I wonder if it changed any votes?
Or discouraged anyone from voting.

2. I stood outside for work for about an hour
The biggest mix-up was people mistaking the soupline for the voting line.
