ction Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 I was talking to someone I work with a little while ago and she was asking me if I had the option to do a paper ballot - I don't think I have seen one of those since the 2nd Clinton term. She said where she lives, they only had five of those plastic deals for paper ballots, which slowed everything down. We had a paper ballot option. I told my wife it was probably a scam where all the touch screen machine votes would end up being "corrupt" and only the paper ballots (which seemed to be used exclusively by people who first voted in the late 1800s and would presumably skew right) would count.

Analogman Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 The last time, we had the touch screen deal, but, as I said earlier, now we have a different type of machine. I certainly don't think there were enough machines in there, but I suppose we are use to less people voting - instead of a lot of people voting. I tip my cap to those who have been standing in line - sometimes for 8 or more hours. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

isadorah Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 we had only paper ballots. they didn't have the concealing plastic sleeves at all. no one seemed to mind. everyone was so darn cheerful and just happy to vote, we took our ballots to voting tables that were essentially circle tables with a divider to make 4 equal sections. none of it was very private, but it moved quickly because there were at least 6 of those circle tables crammed into the tiny polling area. during the primary we had a choice paper ballot or electronic. i think the majority of voters opted for paper. wonder if that is why there were no electronic ballots today. give me good old paper anyday and have that wonderful thing called a paper trail.

Analogman Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 That is how the person I work with looks at it - she told me she refuses to use anything else. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stickman Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 In my college (UCSB) town of Isla Vista I spent a total of 20 minutes at the polling place. And it was decently crowded but there was a fair amount of people working so things moved smoothly. Also it doesn't hurt to have nearly ten polling places within two square miles. Also it was paper all the way. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tapmyglass Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 took me about 20 minutes total to vote in milwaukee. Mainly because I registered at the polling place. If I had been just voting I could have walked right up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

watch me fall Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Took me an hour total (3 pm - 4 pm) from car to line to electronic voting machine back to car in Lexington, SC. Both mayoral candidates and the incumbent congressman were there, which actually helped me decide whom not to vote for in those races, so that was exciting! Apparently I voted at a good time because I heard from poll workers there was a 3 hour wait this morning. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mountain bed Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 No wait, and 4 more votes for the junior Senator from the great state of Illinoise. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bleedorange Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 I had to wait in line for about 90 seconds, and that was only because the woman in front of me couldn't find her driver's license. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
