There were a bunch of very wholesome looking, clean shaven men in slacks and shirts sitting near the front row. Just men. All in their mid thirties to mid forties it seemed. They all knew one another and every one would shake hands when another one arrived. A few wore Romney stickers.
The process was pathetic and open for abuse. We each received a very plain slip of paper before we entered the auditorium. After about an hour of speeches by representatives for each candidate, we were asked to write the name of our chosen one on a piece of paper. And pass it to the side. Which side? Either one. Very elderly ladies, God bless them, did their best to collect the papers amid the chaos. Many people left at this point. Some people walked up to the ladies to hand them their papers after the initial collection.
The ladies counted the papers on some bleachers which had been set up on stage. A representative of each of the candidates looked on. Most of the people left. I waited until results were announced.
