On Tuesday, at my polling place at Kirk of the Hills there were two police cruisers parked on the church’s perimeter: one in plain view and one more surreptitiously. It is very sad that voting has come to this. But I would like to thank the Tulsa Police Department and specifically those two officers for being on duty there.
My wife was a poll worker at that location, and the police presence gave me great comfort. Maybe, just maybe, by the time my grandchildren can vote in 10 years this ridiculous security situation will have reverted to normality. If any of the naysayers and conspiracy theorists were to actually observe the process instead of ignorantly mouthing off about nonexistent and unsubstantiated flaws, they would see that Oklahoma has an excellent and secure voting system.
I bet all the other states do, too. Thanks are also due to the poll workers, who undertake their duties for a grueling 14-plus hours to maintain this trustworthy system. On a day like Election Day, when the lines are long and seemingly never-ending, they conduct their business quietly, efficiently, with little respite and, from some voters, not much respect.
