A woman just rang my doorbell to tell me I hadn’t voted in the local by-election yet.
As it happens, I voted at seven fifteen this morning.
“I voted at seven fifteen this morning,” I said.
“Oh,” she responded, looking a bit confused, “we don’t have you on our EARS list.”
“EARS?”
“Yes. When you vote, it goes into the system, and it comes up on our computer if you haven’t voted.”
You are absolutely effing kidding me. Get out of my life, you snooping snoopy snoopers!
I can only find one online reference to the EARS system. Google is not terribly helpful on this topic. It wanted me to go and read about earwax.
Anyone who can tell me more about this fascinating system, drop me a line.
