Jack was disappointed when we got to the polls and there wasn't a giant boat.
Kate was disappointed that the "sinking fund" for the school had nothing to do with a school sinking in a swamp. (Oh, my dear wife.)
Joe wants to know how the catholic church where we voted was able to be a polling place--and yet surround the building with political signs of who they support. (At the legal distance from the building of course, but still...)

Back home, churches can be polling places, so long as the room with the voting booths contains no religious paraphernalia (crosses, stars of David, crucifixes, 10 Commandments, etc.).
This was in the gym (there is a school too), which is a different building, but the property was surrounded by signs. I'm sure it was legal, but you had to walk through a rather one-sided barrage to get to the gym. Oh well, I'm not that easily swayed. =)
They're only allowed to post signs at polling locations within a certain distance of the door, at 6 p.m. the night before Election Day. I think they allow a few days for removal. Makes for a mad night. When Eric ran, he got no sleep posting signs, and after we lost, we ran around picking them all up. There may have been a 24 hour limit on polling locations, I forget.
I could see how that would be a big hassle. I've often wondered whose job it was to pick up all those signs, and now I now!
Of course, one of the candidates was standing there surrounded by all of his signs...
