I voted yesterday as part of the early voter...thingie?
Last go round I voted on Election Day in the basement of the courthouse where 30+ booths for those "oh, so obsolete" paper ballots were used. I was in and out in about 20 minutes.
This year, I got to use the fancy touchscreen voter machines. They're pretty expensive and the volunteers were obviously uncomfortable around the eight machines they had set up. The polling place where I voted was expecting around 1000 people that day and I spent a little over an hour when all was said and done. Election day they said they were expecting six--seven times as many people...? Voter turnout in my little neck of the woods hovered around 70% in 2000; I can't imagine that number isn't going to suffer this go round.
