Even the dead vote here.When I was 18, I tried to register as a Republican. I filled out the form and when my voters registration card was sent to me, magically I had been registered Democrat. Twice more I tried and each time I remained a Democrat. a move to the burbs removed that little stigma in a country minute.I worked in a business with deep ties to local politics. My boss, a little Italian from "downtown" never showed up for work on election day. He later told me he was a "voting machine mechanic" then he laughed. He asked me how I voted and laughed again and said "no ya didn't" Relax, it’s Philly. Even the dead vote here.
