My uncle has always been an advocate of the absentee ballot -- and I figure next election, I'll do that. I read the horror stories of the lines at the Early Voting place around here, and while I am proud that our citizens are coming out to vote in record numbers, I didn't relish the fact that the lines were likely to be long. I show up to our polling place, a firestation that represents two districts, walk up to the lady, hand her my license and voter registration card, she hands me these two large pieces of paper (our ballots go through a scanner), told me to walk over to one of the privacy booths and scan the ballot when I was done.
Total time elapsed, 5 minutes to find parking, 5 minutes to have my vote scanned.
It will be interesting to compare tonight's results with
