I repeated it loudly due to mask and physical distance three times and finally one lady engaged me, repeated what I had just old her and thanked me.  However, when I walked away they remained in line. So clearly a sign was necessary.  Back home, I pulled out my largest drawing paper and a fat sharpie.  First I lettered in with pencil findmypoll.vote.nyc &#8211; which is wrong and I need to fix as it is <a href=\"https:\/\/findmypollsite.vote.nyc\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">findmypollsite.vote.nyc<\/a> and then went over it with sharpie.  And with it I retuned to the school entrance leading to the gym where voting will occur on November 3rd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While placing a sign a man with his Caribbean accent approached me \u201cExcuse me sir, where can I vote?\u201d I told him Queens Theater on Flatbush and he asked \u201cis it open tomorrow?\u201d Not sure, I pulled out my phone searched voting site with him went to findmypollsite.vote.nyc, he gave me his address without hesitation and we saw Queens Theater come up, I was slightly relieved I had told him the right place and that it\u2019s open tomorrow. He was grateful. And I didn\u2019t even need to concoct a uniform!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Everyone needs to mobolize!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If there&#8217;s one thing that the last four years of Trump have taught us, it is that we can generally do whatever the hell we want, unless of course it&#8217;s visibly criminal (police aside).
