I voted! Did you? What type of voting machine/process in your area?
Hubby and I decided to get it done early this time around... we went about 9 this morning. 2 more votes for Obama!

Here in NY, we are still using the old green voting manual-lever voting booths. How about in your area?

It angers me that we don't have a secure, efficient, CONSISTENT way to vote across this country. With the technology available, we should all be able to vote without registering (based on social security number) and should be able to vote anywhere there are machines... and those machines should be the SAME everywhere, with a paper trail, and secure.

So did you vote yet? What type of equipment?

1. Paper ballots, fed into an optical scanner.
I'm in NE Ohio. The lines were long, but not atrocious, and everything went smoothly.

4. Paper ballots, connect the arrow with a pen, optical scanner. Northeastern Minnesota. Way I see it,
if we can standardize testing (SAT, ACT), we can standardize paper ballots.
