I could go off on a million tangents. One thing that voting always brings to mind is the idea of humans as imperfect beings. When i see a bunch of old ladies writing in ledgers with pens, fumbling through cards, relaying numbers to eachother, often having to repeat themselves several times- the whole abstract act of voting suddenly becomes tangible as this long and crazy process with a million steps that involves just as many people along the way.
And the sign disasters on walls- taped and arranged in any way imaginable- these reflect the frenetic personalities of the people involved in poliltical campaigning, who will overlook a superifcial formality because they are focused on the big picture.
