Observing Elections

Last Tuesday, it was the election day for Americans to vote for the state senate and the congress; so I went to observe that to get to know how people vote and how is the procedure.
I saw people standing and waiting for their turn to go to the next spot to do the vote. It was so simple and easy; people just brought their ID card and go to vote. Eventually when I was observing, I remembered that back home earlier this year, I worked with one of the candidates to the senate of the Chamber of Commerce in Jeddah. It was so different; it was so crowded in the hall of welcoming people to go to vote. The boxes where people put their vote in were not seen as I saw it here, it was in another room inside that only voter and staff of the election can enter to it. A lot of candidates were giving voters fraud just to give them their voice.; for many people and for me it was so disappointing. So it is way different that what I saw here, maybe because we are not familiar to elections especially political elections because Saudi Arabia is a kingdom.
I really like and got exited to see the voting process and I hope I can earn more about it to be hoping that we could gain the experience from the U.S. to apply it in my country.
