She voted
My wife Javaneh came back from work Friday and said she
wanted to vote in the presidential election. We drove to the
polling station at the Mariott Hotel in Emeryville, five minutes
from where
we live in northern California (see
photos). There were about 25
people there; some waiting in a hallway next to the hotel bar (jaa
ghahtee
bood
mosalmoonaa?) and some inside the voting room. Two private security
gurads sat in the hallway. All the
women wore a scarf, except for Javaneh. To my surprise,
no one asked her to cover her hair. Still, we felt so out of place
that she almost changed her mind about voting. But she voted --
for Mostafa Moin. I didn't vote.
I
felt there was
no
point.
