I feel uncomfortable about my vote today...
voted on paper ballots - then they were scanned into a Sequoia voting scanner.

I just don't like it one bit.

1. Our electronic machines were Advanced, not Diebold, but I think
Advanced is just as crooked (now that I've done some internet research)

Still-----if we overwhelm them with record numbers, we're sure to win despite their trickery

2. I think we vote on those in the primaries
We voted on touch screens in the general election. Nothing weird popped up either when I was voting or when I was reviewing my choices, but who knows what happened later? (voted in Irving, TX, BTW).

3. I understand you feelings of unease
I was happy to have a paper ballot and accepted that it was tablulated on a Sequoia scanner. At least we have a paper trail available making a recount possible.

4. I think we all feel wary, as we should.
We should never have blind faith in these elections, even with significant reforms.
