bedeviled mojo slop

Greetings from Upstate NY. I voted this morning at approximately 8:37 EST before coming to work. My polling place was a local firehouse about 2 minutes from my house.

As far as voting experiences go, mine was pretty easy. The parking lot was full and I had to wait for a car pulling out before I could park. Once I got into the firehouse, there were two tables, one for each voting district for that polling place. The tables had printed sheets of what you would see inside the voting booth and instructions on how to use the machines. There were 2 people by each book with the registered voters. Their name tags also had their party affiliation. There was a Republican and a Democrat by each book. I wonder if there was a law or a new law stating there had to be a Republican and Democrat for verification purposes. I wasn't asked for identification although I had my driver's license at the ready.

There were 4 people in front of me. Finally, it was my turn to vote and I stepped inside the voting booth. Electronic voting?! Could it be?! There weren't touch screens, but who cares. I guess it was electronic voting. You pushed the button next to the name(s) for the particular office. A green arrow lit up next to your selection. There was also a selection for "Write In" and instructions on how to go about writing in a candidate. After making my selections, I clicked on the "Cast My Vote" button and that was it. I'm not sure what type of voting machine it was ... honestly I didn't look. There was no printout of my recorded vote. So, there are probably improvements that can be made in this area.

All in all it was maybe 6 minutes of waiting in line to vote and maybe 15-20 seconds to vote my selections.

How'd your vote go?
