Deep Thoughts: I did my duty

I did my duty

I was the 26th person to vote in my district. When I arrived there were 11 people in line. We use electronic ballots that produce paper ballots. The process takes about three minutes. Voting using the machines is a little confusing. You must press a bunch of buttons in the right sequence. A few of the older people needed help. The volunteers were helpful. It was a good experience.

It was a tough call for me. I am a libertarian. I normally waste my vote. I choose to make my vote count this year. I voted for Obama, and against fundie backed propositions 4 and 8.

Do your duty. Go vote.

Voted at 1130. No line at all. Not surprising living in a state that has a pop. of 30 million with only 2 million registered voters. Makes me want to puke at the apathy.

Heh. You use a machine to print a paper ballot - we fill out a paper ballot, then run it through an optical scanning machine.

Mom & I were # 36 and 37 in our line (3 precincts vote in our polling place). (We got there about 6:40 a.m.)
