ONE genuine vote cast for the Next President of the US, Barack Obama . . . ON PAPER!! |
|
Yes, my voting place gave the option of Diebold or paper. Guess which one I chose.
So I voted like most every democracy besides ours does . . . how it SHOULD be . . . with writing implement and PAPER.
And behind me, there were clogged lines, one Diebold machine wasn't working, the other ran out of paper. This is when the polls just opened. I can't imagine how they're going to be later on.

Winterport Maine has boxes on the ballot not circles ...you had to put an X or a check within the box...erasures will disqualify your ballot...you must ask for a new ballot if you mess up.... The ballots are hand counted...no optical scanners...
