I did my part as an American too. besides in my opinion (not trying to offend) but i feel if you don't vote you can't complain!:cuss:....so I can complain now .. ..and as far as OC i can't either due to a school being the voting location.

Voted first thing this morning. As I point out in a Utah specific thread, OC'd right into the high school where my polling place was located. No problems at all.

Voted first thing this morning. Then went and bought another evil black rifle after work.

With paper ballots anyone of average intelligence understands them and can count them. They are not foolproof but they are simpler. They also take longer to count, but not that long, and what's the hurry? The world won't end if you have to wait a few hours more before the first count comes in.

Didn't work in Florida <grin>. Well, maybe the Florida re-counters weren't average intelligence (she says, having lived in the state for 10 years).

I have no heartburn with the electronic machines. I'd prefer they punch a paper tape that would go in to a locked receptacle and then be destroyed if no recount is required.

Still, I think it would take too much systematic and concerted effort to really affect a vote through the machines as they are now. JMO.

I don't like the electronic only machines. Aside from fraud, there is no paper trail if there is a 'glitch' and all the votes in the machine go poof.

The machines we have here in WV do leave a paper trail. As you vote you can see who you voted for being printed on a paper roll through a plastic window on the machine. VA must use different machines. I'm assuming this is in case the machine 'goes poof'.:lol:
