Spencer: The Dog Ate My Ballot

Larry Spencer (explaining why he didn't vote in May 25 primary): Well, for one thing, the polls weren't open when I left in the morning, and I worked in CdA until nearly 8 PM going door to door in CdA getting people driven to the polls down here. By the time I was done, there was not time to make it back to vote before the polls closed. I planned to make it back in time, it just didn't happen.

Sisyphus: There's this thing called an absentee ballot …

Question: When did you last fail to vote in an election? Why didn't you vote then?
