There were 30-50 in attendance. I'm 55 and was one of the younger people. There were songs and brief speeches. Talk of how we will vote like crazy next time, etc. It was over in 40 minutes (remember: old people).</p><p>I couldn't stop thinking that the League of Women Voters (the organizing body) was hopelessly on the back foot.
