Cathy Seipp is Hilarious...

Here's her story of taking her daughter with her while voting in the LA mayoral elections:

A taste: when the crazy lady at the poll starts bugging Seipp's daughter about voting:

“Oh, thanks, but I'm not 18, I can't vote yet,” Maia said.

“Yes you can!” the woman insisted. “And you need the practice, because this is the new type of ballot now! No more chads!” I glanced at the “ballot” and saw it was one of those fake things pollworkers sometimes hand to small children: The “candidates” were George Washington and Thomas Jefferson, the “proposition” was should Valentine's Day should be a federal holiday.

Cute for a six-year-old, not for a 16-year-old, but I guess some adults don't see the difference. And what teenager needs practice filling in circles on paper anyway? These days they spend practically their whole lives doing that.
