How's the turnout been for your polling place today?
Assuming you didn't mail it in or vote early.
My polling place was almost empty at 9:00 AM.

The young fellow obviously had very serious problems - impeded speech, scars all over his head, not sure exactly what he suffered from, but absolutely major care issues. I think she was just showing him how the voting process works.
