Northern Virginia - Nice steady flow of folks. Had the option of paper or electronic(only one machine however). Chose paper and saw 15 people(5 booths) vote by paper in the time it took one to vote eletronically.

Hopefully Webb can bo back to authoring more child porn instead of heading to the District.

Everything was fine at my polling place. They have the new computer touch screens. It printed out a paper statement showing how I voted. So if they can do that to all the touch screens, that should do the job if re-counts are needed.

Unfortunately our elections will never be perfect. But having electronic equipment with a paper trail seems like an improvement.

Sounds like we might be in the same precinct. I had the choice of paper or electronic (which I thought was strange) there was only 1 machine and a line of half-dozen or so people waiting to use it. There were 5 booths for paper voting, all of which were in use, but no line waiting. I choose paper, the whole thing took about 7 minutes and most of that was reading the ballot. The only questionable part was that they did not provide the privacy envelope that they use to with the paper ballots.
