What are some of the funniest election day stories you've heard?
I heard a story where a political party had arranged for a big parade on election day to promote their candidate. But the parade got completely lost on the way and ended up in a different neighborhood. By the time they found their way back to the main area, most of the voters had already cast their ballots. And then there was a case where a candidate promised free ice - cream if he won. On election day, some supporters actually brought ice - cream vans and were handing out ice - cream, which attracted a lot of people, not all of whom were even eligible to vote, creating a chaotic but funny scene. This shows how creative and sometimes comical election day can be.
There was a candidate who was known for his very serious demeanor. On election day, as he was greeting voters outside a polling station, a baby in a stroller suddenly reached out and grabbed his nose. He was so startled that he let out a yelp. The voters nearby couldn't help but laugh. Also, at one polling place, the voting machines were decorated with little stickers by a prankster. It took the staff a while to figure out what was going on and in the meantime, the voters were having a good laugh about the'sticky situation'.
One of the funniest was when a candidate's microphone malfunctioned during a speech. Instead of his voice, it played some really loud and goofy cartoon music. The candidate just stood there looking bewildered for a moment before starting to laugh himself. Another story is that in a small town election, a man showed up to vote wearing a very elaborate and outlandish hat. It was so big that it kept hitting other people as he walked through the polling place, causing a lot of giggles.
