“I VOTED!!! In my tiny little podunk firehall I was number 75 at about 8:20a (polls open at 7a). No line but all three machines in constant use while I was there. People were (not asked) but showing their drivers licenses.”
So that was YOU next to me... :-)
Same description you gave - except the machines were acting up. I had to press “NEXT” several times to get the screen to move ahead, and at the end had to press “CAST BALLOT” about 10 times and it STILL wouldn’t accept it. I said to the voting guy “this machine is acting up,” and he said: “they ALL are” (oh, good sign, THAT...). After a minute of “thinking about it”, it did finally accept the ballot and spit back out the key card (at least I HOPE it accepted it!).
Felt good to vote for the first time in decades.
“Felt good to vote for the first time in decades.”
Clarification - this isn’t the first time I’ve VOTED in decades - but the first time in decades it felt good to do so.
Yeah, voting FOR somebody is much more satisfying than voting AGAINST somebody else.
Our machines worked great. They are touch pad. I didn’t know it was on the PA ballot (too much concentrating on Trump delegates) but I was so happy to vote to ABOLISH the Philadelphia Traffic Court (where I once got a ticket, w/late charges!!! Even tho I have NEVER driven in Philadelphia.). Took months of red tape to get that resolved. They had quite the racket going.
Anyways...my youngest just texted me and I had to come back (here) to post...I was 75 at 8:25a he was 140 at 9:40ish. There can’t be more than 500 voters in our district. Husband will be voting after work at around 6...I’ll report his number then.
