U.S. Election Day In Progress: What's Been Your Experience?

Posted by timothy on from the meet-the-new-boss dept.

Today is Election Day in the U.S., and polls are open even in Hawaii now. The current Slashdot poll gives a snapshot of how many readers have voted or plan to vote; more rigorous and wide-based polls are easy to find. If you're taking part in today's election, what have you found? Did you or will you vote electronically, or on paper? How long did you wait to vote? Did you vote weeks ago by mail? How much time did you put into making your choices? It would be helpful if in comments you start the subject of your post with your 2-letter state abbreviation, like this: "TX - About to go get in line to push some buttons."

    Went to polling station, black panthers were blockading the entrance, then the UN blue hats showed up and scared them off, that was nice but then they were watching us right near the booths...kinda makes you feel uncomfortable. On the way out I peeked through a door where I saw a guy with a laptop plugged into a disassembled voting machine, he was hammering away at a CLI and cackling maniacally.

    I said oh well, not like voting matters anyhow due to electoral college bullshit and went home

    You free loading losers have no business voting! Why you're the cause of our deficit - you and those pink Cadilack driving welfare mothers!

    Thankfully, were all educated really good here in georiga! and were gonna have Romney elected!
