I voted!
 

How did you vote in the presidential election?

early and often.

I pressed the button next to the name I wanted, and the light next to it lit up. Then I pressed the "register vote" button, and the thing beeped.

It's supposed to be a poll but I screwed up.

See the other thread.

Oh, we're old school out here in the wild west.

We have paper ballots and black felt pens. Next to each name is an arrow that looks broken in the middle. You have to draw the line to make your arrow whole to indicate your vote for that candidate. No chads, no software conspiracy theories.

Some kind of touch screen machine. I brought my kids into the booth with me and let them watch. I explained what I was doing each step of the way.

I can see it now.

OK kids, when I push this button I will hopefully help elect the next president. Let's all stop for a moment of silence and pray he doesn't fuck up America any worse than the other guy would have. Ramen.

We also had the broken arrow sheets. I've heard it's a slam against native americans.

eh, give them some firewater and they'll be fine.

dar, since you started the thread, you can still ad a poll to it. look for 'thread tools' on the right side of one of the title bars. there should be an option for adding a poll.

Apparently, I could have requested the broken arrow sheet, but didn't know that until it was too late. I could have gone for some firewater.

Thanks, lj. I found it after I started a new thread.

Well now I know how to do a poll.

How did I vote?:) As the wife, X-Lydia, is fond of putting it, "Why, by secret ballot, in accordance with the law."

For McCain, as I said I would -- now that alea jacta est.

Paper ballot, and only a five minute wait in line

I much prefer paper ballots. For me there is an emotional connection to the act of putting my 'X' next to the candidate's name.
