Today, our electrical intern, who is a Russian immigrant (moved here when she was 13) was driving 30 miles over the speed limit on 71 north from
Cincinnati. She was speeding to get back to work because she had waited in
line in her hometown for an hour (starting at 6:30 am) to vote. She was
pulled over by the State Highway Patrol. Besides speeding, she also had an
expired registration (she’s a month late renewing it.) On top of all this,
she couldn’t locate her proof of insurance. She explained to him her plight
of waiting in line to vote, and that she was rushing to get to work in
Columbus. He took her driver’s license, started to walk to his cruiser to
process the ticket, and then turned back to ask who she voted for. She said
“Bush”. He turned around, handed her back the license, and said “I think
this time I’ll just give you a warning”.
