| Description: |
Election Day scene. A residential street is full of cars parked on both sides of the street and blocking traffic. The sidewalks are full of people, mostly party workers who are handing out last-minute campaign advertisements. People seated at two tables in the front yard of a house check voters in. Voters wait on the houses sidewalk and front porch until a voting machine becomes available. The necessary officials, workers, and voters have their clothing shaded a darker color; there are many people with light clothing throughout the scene, particularly blocking the sidewalk. Paper litters the sidewalk, street, and yards. Image Access WideTEK 25 Okay one more come in. Hangers-on beyond limit prescribed by law. Here you! Vote these. Make them take them!
