Everyone around me did surprisingly well. I felt for our ward chair even
though we were supporting different mayoral candidates. She got quite a
workout running up and down those steps to get or return ballots.
Being at a higher elevation made for more efficient people watching,
however. It also seemed to me that, if a person knew what to watch for,
there would be a strategic advantage to being in the bleachers and having a
good view of the floor below. Does anyone know how seating is decided?
